After a short summer break, the 2nd Bundesliga starts the new season on Friday. A Pay TV subscription is required for most games. With this overview, you won’t miss a beat.
The dramatic finale isn’t far behind, but this weekend the 2nd Bundesliga starts the new season again. Only two months have passed since the last match day, on which the two heavyweights Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen secured promotion, and the opening game on Friday evening. The league is hardly peppered with such big names this season, but the new field of participants promises a lot of excitement and top-class football.
For example, Hamburger SV is entering its fifth season in the lower house. The chances of a resurgence have rarely been as good as this year. After the bitter defeat in the relegation, both coach Tim Walter and most top performers were retained. With newcomers like Laszlo Benes and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer, they have also strengthened their quality. Nuremberg, Hanover and the two Bundesliga relegated Fürth and Bielefeld also belong to the extended circle of favourites.
Opening game of the 2nd Bundesliga on free TV
Three old friends are new this year: Kaiserslautern, Magdeburg and Braunschweig. They have all made it into the second-highest German division. It is the first second division season for the Red Devils since 2018. On Friday (8:30 p.m.) 1. FCK meets Hannover 96 and new coach Stefan Leitl in the Fritz Walter Stadium. The game will be broadcast on free TV on Sat.1. A free live stream of the league opener is also available on ran.de.
