German football clubs across various divisions have commenced their new league seasons.

In the 2. Bundesliga, Energie Cottbus secured a 3-1 victory against Hannover 96, a match that faced delays due to referee radio issues and a mid-game power outage. KSC has released its 2026/2027 schedule, which includes a home opener against Bielefeld and a Southwest derby against Kaiserslautern.

In the women’s 2. Bundesliga, FC Ingolstadt 04 secured a 1-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt U20, while Hertha BSC also recorded a win.
