DFL announces dates for Revierderbys between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04
The Revierderbys between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 already have a date set. The first game takes place in early December 2026, while the second is scheduled for April 2027.
The DFL has confirmed the dates of the two Revierderbys between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 for the 2026/27 season. The first meeting between the teams will be on December 4th to 6th, 2026, at Schalke's stadium, while the second game is scheduled for April 9th to 11th, 2027, in Dortmund.
These clashes generate great expectations in the Ruhr, especially with Schalke's return to the Bundesliga. Last season, Dortmund won the first duel at home with a goal from Youssoufa Moukoko, while the second game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Schalke fans, who return to the first division, hope that the situation will be different this season, under the command of coach Miron Muslic, who aims not to fight against relegation upon his return. The rivalry between the two teams is intense, and Schalke seeks to win valuable points in meetings against their biggest rival.
Historically, Dortmund have the advantage with 39 wins in 108 meetings, while Schalke have won 36 times and there have been 33 draws. However, Dortmund has not lost to Schalke in six matches in the Bundesliga, and the blue team's last triumph occurred on April 27, 2019, when they won 4-2. With these dates announced, the 2026/27 season promises many emotions and stories in the Revierderbys.
