Starting the season together: visitor info for BVB season opener
Starting the season together: visitor info for BVB season opener
11:00 a.m.: Entry to the Rote Erde
The ball gets rolling at 1:00 p.m. in the friendly between the BVB Women and AS Roma. The Stadion Rote Erde opens its gates two hours earlier.
Unlike during regular match operations, the stadium will already open three hours before kick-off, at 2:30 p.m. There will once again be a “Happy Hour” until 90 minutes before kick-off: every stadium kiosk will offer a 19.09 percent discount on all drinks and food.
The pre-match program at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK begins, and the squads for the 2026/27 season will be introduced. The first team and the BVB Women will be called onto the pitch by stadium announcer Nobby Dickel and presented to the black-and-yellow supporters.
4:30 p.m.: Performance by Blumengarten
The music duo has long had more in common with Borussia Dortmund than just joint appearances. Singer Rayan has been a big BVB fan since childhood. Two years ago, Blumengarten took the stage at the Christmas sing-along in SIGNAL IDUNA PARK as the opening act. More joint campaigns and formats followed. Now Blumengarten will perform at the stadium once again, and there is also a special Blumengarten shirt print available in the online fan shop .
5:30 p.m.: Kick-off for the friendly against AS Roma
AS Roma, who finished third in last season’s Serie A, will appear at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. That makes it a real test for head coach Niko Kovac’s team one week before the Super Cup clash with Bayern Munich on 22 August (8:30 p.m.). The season opener is presented by schauinsland-reisen.
