DFL terminates game days: BVB can wait for the top game between Bayern and Leipzig

Status: 03/22/2023 1:59 p.m

The German Football League (DFL) has scheduled the games on the final stretch of the seasons in the first and second Bundesliga and announced them on Wednesday (03/22/2023).

The constellation on the 33rd Bundesliga matchday is interesting. Bayern Munich meets RB Leipzig on Saturday evening, May 20 at 6.30 p.m. Borussia Dortmund, currently the leader and one point ahead of Bayern, only has to start on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. It is at least conceivable that BVB will win the title the day before without any action on their part.

For a long time, not only the last but also the penultimate game day in the Bundesliga took place in parallel on Saturdays at 3:30 p.m. This should exclude possible manipulations and maintain equal opportunities. Last season, the DFL broke this rule for the first time and is again using different kick-off times this year. It is handled similarly in England, the leagues in Spain and Italy even do without parallel games on the last day of the game.
