3 March 2023 – Following the recent draw for the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League, DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga has now released the exact schedule for Matchdays 26 to 29 of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 for the current 2022-23 season. The schedule had to accommodate the fact that there are currently four Bundesliga clubs in the UEFA Champions League and three in the UEFA Europa League.

Matches now confirmed include Der Klassiker between FC Bayern München and Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 26 (Saturday, 1 April, 6:30 p.m. CET). A day later, 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach will clash in the Rhine derby (Sunday, 2 April, 3:30 p.m. CET). Matchday 27 the following week will see direct encounters between European qualifiers Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Union Berlin, Sport-Club Freiburg and FC Bayern München, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt (all matches on Saturday, 8 April, 3:30 p.m. CET). The Swabian head-to-head between FC Augsburg and VfB Stuttgart will kick off Matchday 29 (Friday, 21 April, 8:30 p.m. CET). The same matchday will also see the two UEFA Champions League participants Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt face each other (Saturday, 22 April, 6:30 p.m. CET).

In Bundesliga 2, the current table leader, SV Darmstadt 98, will play the side now in fourth place, SC Paderborn 07, on Matchday 27 (Sunday, 9 April, 1:30 p.m. CET). Matchday 28 will include a clash between founding members of the Bundesliga 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Hamburger SV (Saturday, 15 April, 8:30 p.m. CET). A time and date has now also been set for the Hamburg derby between Hamburger SV and FC St. Pauli on Matchday 29 (Friday, 21 April, 6:30 p.m. CET).

Due to laws around public holidays, no Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2 matches will take place on Good Friday (7 April). Instead, the schedule for Matchday 27 includes three matches in the Bundesliga and five Bundesliga 2 matches on Easter Sunday (9 April).
