1.Bundesliga 2022/23 Fixtures

Only a couple of weeks are left before the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign gets underway from 5th August 2022. FC Bayern München will begin the season as the defending champions once again after clinching its 10th consecutive league-title.

However, Bayern might encounter a more intense title-race especially after losing its star-striker Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona after 8 hugely successful years. The Bavarians had earlier captured the signature of Sadio Mané from Liverpool and added centre-back Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus.

Borussia Dortmund has been quite active in the off-season and should provide a strong challenge for the Bundesliga title. So far, the club has signed Karim Adeyemi, Nico Schlotterbeck, Salih Özcan and Niklas Süle. It also bought Sébastien Haller from Ajax but the French striker is sidelined indefinitely after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig may be the outsiders for the title-race but are going to be among the hot favourites for the top-4 positions. 1.FC Union Berlin, SC Freiburg and 1.FC Köln all enjoyed excellent campaigns last time around while TSG Hoffenheim, VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia M’gladbach will be hoping for better fortunes.

Meanwhile, two of the biggest clubs in Germany, FC Schalke 04 and SV Werder Bremen will return to the top-flight as the newly-promoted teams. While the pair has a stiff challenge ahead to stay in the division, VfB Stuttgart, Hertha Berlin, VfL Bochum and FC Augsburg are all likely to be in the relegation-dogfight.

Now we take a look at the fixture-list for the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign and focus on the notable clashes from Matchday 1 through Matchday 34.

1.Bundesliga 2022/23 Fixtures – Sponsored by Sportaza

Matchday 1

The season kicks off with a Friday night fixture as Eintracht Frankfurt welcome the champions Bayern München to the Deutsche Bank Arena. Eintracht finished outside the top-half of the Bundesliga last season but were able to clinch the UEFA Europa League which ended its 42 year wait for a major trophy.

Saturday features a host of exciting clashes such as the Berlin Derby as 1.FC Union Berlin host Hertha BSC at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Union finished the 2021/22 campaign in 5th position while Hertha had to pull off a miracle in the closing weeks before winning the promotion-relegation playoffs.

The evening fixture is arguably the best match of the week as Borussia Dortmund starts its campaign at home to Bayer Leverkusen in a match between two sides which finished the previous season in 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively. Another goal-fest could be on the cards as these sides scored 14 times in the 2 matches between them last season.

On Sunday, 1.FC Köln will face Schalke 04 at RheinEnergieStadion. Köln has not lost any of its past 5 meetings with Schalke which include 3 wins in the previous 3 league-matches between the two sides.

Matchday 2

In Matchday 2, Freiburg will begin its home-campaign against Borussia Dortmund. Freiburg narrowly missed out on a top-4 finish last season before losing the DFB-Pokal final to RB Leipzig. On Sunday, Mainz will be at home to Union Berlin which should be an intriguing contest. It will be followed by Bayern München taking on Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena.

Matchday 3

On 20th August, Bayer Leverkusen will be at home to Hoffenheim which should be an important fixture later on in the race for the top-4 spots. Later in the same evening, Union Berlin will be the hosts for the visit of RB Leipzig in a clash between the two former East German clubs. In the following afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt will take on FC Köln at Deutsche Bank Arena which promises to be an exciting encounter.

Matchday 4

On 27th August, RB Leipzig will play against Wolfsburg at the Red Bull Arena. It will be followed by Bayern München against Borussia M’gladbach.

Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim will kick off Matchday 4 at the Signal Iduna Park on a Friday night. Bayer Leverkusen is set to face Freiburg at home while Bayern München will travel to the capital to face Union Berlin. On Sunday afternoon, Augsburg will be at home to Hertha Berlin which should be a key fixture for the two sides that will probably lie at the lower end of the league-table.

Matchday 6

Borussia Dortmund will take on RB Leipzig at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund has a good record at home against its new big rivals but Leipzig did manage the double over them last season.

Matchday 10

On Matchday 10, Bayern will take on Freiburg at Allianz Arena while Borussia Dortmund will be travelling to Stadion An der Alten Försterei to face Union Berlin. Eintracht Frankfurt is scheduled to meet Bayer Leverkusen at Deutsche Bank Park. Wolfsburg against Borussia M’gladbach at the Volkswagen Arena looks a good one, too.

Matchday 11

Bayer Leverkusen will play at home against Wolfsburg although the away-side has come up with a win in each of its past 4 trips to BayArena. Hoffenheim will take on Bayern München at PreZero Arena and they have picked up 3 victories in its last 6 home-games against the Bavarian giants. Hertha Berlin will play Schalke at the Olympiastadion which should be another important match in the bottom-half.

Matchday 12

Leipzig will be up against Bayer Leverkusen at the Red Bull Arena which looks to be the best match of Matchday 11 in a crucial fixture in the race for the top-4. Köln at home to Hoffenheim is going to be another fine contest and the same goes for Eintracht against Dortmund at Deutsche Bank Park. Werder Bremen against Hertha Berlin is going to be the key fixture at the bottom-end of the table.

M’gladbach will be at home for the visit of Westphalia rivals Dortmund to BorussiaPark. Schalke will travel to Allianz Arena to face Bayern München but it will not be a big contest in the title-race like it was in the early years of this century.

Matchday 16

In the first round of Bundesliga fixtures for 2023, RB Leipzig will be at home to reigning champions Bayern München in a huge match at the top end of the table.

Matchday 20

RB Leipzig against Union Berlin should turn out to be an intriguing contest. The same goes for the clash between the Baden-Württemberg cities Freiburg and Stuttgart at the Europa-Park Stadion. Nevertheless, Hoffenheim at home to Bayer Leverkusen looks like the best match of the week and should be a key battle in the race for top-4.

Matchday 21

Upon first glance, the match between M’gladbach and Bayern München at BorussiaPark stands out from the rest of the fixtures of Matchday 21. M’gladbach has picked up 4 wins from its last 6 home-games against Bayern. Meanwhile, Leverkusen will be at home to Mainz and Wolfsburg will face Leipzig at Volkswagen Arena.

Matchday 22

Bayern München is scheduled to face Union Berlin at Allianz Arena. Leipzig will be at home to Eintracht Frankfurt which has been a very evenly matched contest in the last couple of seasons.

Borussia Dortmund taking RB Leipzig at Signal Iduna Park is certainly the standout fixture from Matchday 23. Meanwhile Schalke is going to face its close neighbours Bochum at the Ruhrstadion.
