Hamburger SV will compete at FC Bayern Munich on the 3rd matchday of the upcoming Bundesliga season. According to the HSV, the game takes place between September 12 and 14, 2025 in the Allianz Arena.
The German Football League (DFL) officially publishes the full schedule for the Bundesliga season 2025/26 on Friday, June 27th. However, individual information has already been communicated to the clubs.
After the return to the Bundesliga, HSV is the first away game at the German champion FC Bayern Munich. The complete game plan will be communicated on Friday via the club’s official channels.
It was only on Friday (2 p.m.) that the DFL released the complete game schedule for the new season in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. Surprisingly, the league released the opening game of the 1st league on Thursday morning: Master Bayern Munich welcomes RB Leipzig in the Allianz Arena on August 22nd (8:30 p.m.).
A second game from the 1st matchday is also to be published in advance on Thursday. However, fans have to guess what the focus is on – the HSV may also be part of the solution.
At 2 p.m. the puzzle “What’s the Match” is to be activated in the official Bundesliga app. The fans can then try to guess the game until 4 p.m. You should get a tip every 30 minutes.
Midfielder Ludovit Reis leaves Hamburger SV: The North Germans gave the 25-year-old’s change request “after many conversations and frequent considerations”, as the club announced in the evening. The Dutchman had a contract that was still valid until 2026. In the future he will play for Club Bruges. According to media reports, the Belgian association should be willing to pay six million euros for rice.
Rice said goodbye emotionally in a video published by the association. “I just wanted to say: Thank you for everything,” said Reis. “Hamburg has become my home. It is not easy to leave. I hope the HSV family understands that it is not about the club. I leave the club because I personally want to do something.”
Hamburger SV plays its first round game in the DFB Cup on August 16 at the top division FK Pirmasens. The kick -off is at 1 p.m. The DFB published the contemporary approaches for the first cup round on Wednesday.
The opponent from Rhineland-Palatinate plays in the fifth-class Oberliga “Rheinlandpfalz/Saar” and completed the past season as the third in the table. The FK Pirmasens qualified for the DFB Cup as the state cup winner South-West. He is the former training association of HSV goalkeeper coach Sven Höh.
A week after the cup game, the Bundesliga season also begins for HSV. The first match day takes place from August 22nd to 24th. The Hamburgers will be the first Bundesliga club to prepare for the 2025/26 season next Monday (June 30).
Hamburger SV and Andras Nemeth go separate paths. As the Bundesliga promoted, the 22-year-old offensive player changes to the Hungarian first division club Puska’s academia.
Nemeth changed to Hamburg in winter 2023 and played a total of 42 competitive games for the Hanseatic League. In the past season, however, the Hungarian was not in the professional squad, but was loaned at the second division team SC Preußen Münster.
The attacker could not prevail there permanently. In 21 appearances – mostly as a joker – he remained without a goal. He contributed three templates. Injuries ketorously braked the young international. Now follows the return home – and a restart in the Hungarian league.
