The most useful place to check for a late schedule adjustment is the official Bundesliga Matchday 8 schedule. FC Augsburg's club fixture list independently gives the October 31 date and 3:30 p.m. kickoff at WWK ARENA.
A timing discrepancy can arise when one service displays UTC and another displays the clock time in Germany. Germany's switch from daylight saving time to standard time takes place before this match. On October 31, Augsburg is on CET, one hour ahead of UTC, not Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+02:00). Consequently, 3:30 p.m. CET and 2:30 p.m. UTC describe the same kickoff. A listing that says only “14:30” without a timezone is incomplete for readers planning across borders.
For a reliable reminder, save October 31 at 14:30 UTC or 15:30 CET, depending on your calendar settings. Do not apply the summer UTC offset or assume that an English-language website is displaying U.S. time. Freiburg's official kickoff announcement explicitly lists 15:30 CET for this fixture.
FC Augsburg are the designated home team, so the venue is WWK ARENA, not Freiburg's Europa-Park Stadion. The ground's published visitor address is Bürgermeister-Ulrich-Straße 90, 86199 Augsburg. This distinction matters when choosing travel directions or looking for tickets: the away club's website may advertise the fixture, but it does not change the host stadium.
According to Augsburg's official stadium information, gates normally open two hours before kickoff. The event-specific ticket page gives 1:30 p.m. CET (12:30 p.m. UTC) as the entry time on October 31, with kickoff at 3:30 p.m. CET. Plan time for any checks at the entrance, and use the gate associated with the section printed on your ticket.
FC Augsburg's official home-ticket shop lists the Freiburg match for October 31. The club classifies the fixture as ticket category B and identifies the presale process on its event page. Ticket inventory can change, so a listing is not proof that any particular block or price remains available. Before paying, check the selected section, delivery method, entrance information, and the seller's authenticity. The official page also notes that special-access tickets are requested through a separate process rather than regular open sale.
The club's official directions describe matchday tram line 8 running from Augsburg Hauptbahnhof to the WWK ARENA stop. The journey from the main station takes approximately 20 minutes, and the stadium service is scheduled to operate at frequent intervals beginning two hours before kickoff. Check the transit operator's live timetable on game day, particularly if rail disruptions or crowding affect your route.
For eligible home-match tickets, the club says Augsburg city buses and trams in zones 10 and 20 are included for a period before and after the game. That benefit does not extend to regional trains or regional buses. Visitors arriving from outside Augsburg should therefore check whether they need a separate rail or regional transit ticket. Parking spaces near the arena are limited; confirm the current parking arrangements with the club rather than assuming a space will be available at the stadium.
The previous league meeting at Augsburg, on January 18, 2026, finished 2–2. Augsburg went two goals ahead soon after halftime through Alexis Claude-Maurice and Elvis Rexhbecaj, before Freiburg equalized through Yuito Suzuki and Igor Matanović. Those events are documented in the official Bundesliga report. It is useful recent head-to-head context, not a result or prediction for October 31.
There are practical limits to what past encounters can establish. A draw in January does not mean the next meeting will be close, and individual scorers in that game are not automatically starters in October. Team selection, fitness, suspensions and tactical decisions can change. For a current picture, use the match center's lineup and team-news sections closer to kickoff rather than copying players from previous meetings into an unconfirmed starting eleven.
The Bundesliga match center is the primary destination for the official match timeline, lineups and statistics. Its lineup page indicates that starting elevens are ordinarily published around 60 minutes before kickoff; for this match, that would be approximately 2:30 p.m. CET (1:30 p.m. UTC) on October 31, subject to the official release. If you are checking earlier, treat projected lineups as estimates.
Television and streaming rights depend on the viewer's country or territory, and a provider's overall Bundesliga rights do not necessarily confirm carriage of this exact match. The league maintains an official broadcaster directory for regional guidance. Select your country, then verify the match listing directly with the broadcaster. A social-media clip or a link labeled “live” is not, by itself, evidence of an authorized full-match stream.
Bottom line: The verified scheduled fixture is FC Augsburg against Sport-Club Freiburg on October 31, 2026, at WWK ARENA, with kickoff at 15:30 CET / 14:30 UTC. Date, location and scheduled start are confirmed; final lineups, match events, the final score and the availability of a particular broadcast are not established in advance.
