Fortuna Düsseldorf prepares for Niederrheinpokal and Duisburg derby

Fortuna Düsseldorf is scheduled to participate in several key football fixtures, including a match against Schwarz-Weiß Alstaden in the second round of the Niederrheinpokal on September 23, 2026. This follows a recent 1-0 defeat in Aachen.

Additionally, the club is preparing for the historic Straßenbahn-Derby against MSV Duisburg. This matchup between two former Bundesliga clubs marks the return of a rivalry that has been inactive for eight and a half years. While MSV Duisburg enters the fixture as league leaders, Fortuna Düsseldorf aims to build momentum following recent defensive improvements and a 5-0 victory in the state cup.

Broadcasting for 3. Liga matches, including these fixtures, is primarily handled by MagentaSport, which holds rights to all 380 matches in the division. Regional coverage is also provided via WDR.
