The German Football Association (DFB) has released the detailed schedule for the two most anticipated fixtures of Matchday 6 in the Frauen-Bundesliga. Fans can look forward to two blockbuster clashes: the Nordderby between Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV, and the giants’ showdown between VfL Wolfsburg and FC Bayern Munich.
The decision to announce these dates early is linked to the international break in the men’s competitions, which the DFB aims to use to maximize the visibility and prestige of these top-tier women’s matches.
Schedule and Broadcasts
Both matches will be played on Saturday, October 11.
- 15:00 – At the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, VfL Wolfsburg will face FC Bayern Munich, a rematch of the recent Supercup clash in which Bayern triumphed 4–2.
- 17:45 – At the Weserstadion in Bremen, fans will witness the first-ever Nordderby in the Frauen-Bundesliga between Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV.
The derby will be broadcast free-to-air on ARD, as well as streamed on MagentaSport and DAZN, ensuring broad accessibility for viewers.
The last meeting between the two northern clubs came last season in the DFB-Pokal semifinal, when Werder defeated HSV — then still a second-division side — 3–1 after extra time, in front of a record crowd of over 57,000 spectators at the Volksparkstadion.
Meanwhile, the Wolfsburg-Bayern rivalry remains the most high-profile matchup in German women’s football. Both teams consistently battle for the championship, and their most recent encounter saw Bayern claim victory in Karlsruhe, securing their first trophy of the new season.
Other Fixtures
The exact dates for the remaining Matchday 6 fixtures, as well as the detailed schedule for Matchday 5, have not yet been confirmed. The DFL is expected to release the men’s Bundesliga fixtures soon, after which the DFB will adjust and publish the final kickoff times for all women’s league matches.
