Updated: November 5, 2026, 5:55 p.m. Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00).
SC Freiburg are set to host 1. FC Union Berlin on Sunday, November 8, in Bundesliga Matchday 9. Kickoff at the Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00), or 4:30 p.m. UTC. The league and DFB schedules still list the fixture as upcoming, so there is no match result to report yet.
The matchup pairs a Freiburg side that has made a club scoring record through eight league games with a Union team whose recent unbeaten run has been built on a tighter defensive approach. Bundesliga’s latest matchday preview includes projected starting elevens, but those are not confirmed lineups; official teams are expected about an hour before kickoff.
The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026, at the Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg. The DFB Datencenter lists the match at 5:30 p.m., and the Bundesliga’s fixture data gives both the local kickoff and its UTC equivalent. Germany will be on standard time on that date: daylight saving time ends before the match, so Freiburg uses Central European Time, UTC+01:00. For international schedules, the same kickoff is 4:30 p.m. UTC.
The DFB match center identifies the fixture as match 2419392. The official Bundesliga fixture list confirms Matchday 9, the November 8 date, and the 5:30 p.m. CET / 4:30 p.m. UTC kickoff. SC Freiburg’s published schedule and Union Berlin’s club notice also list the Sunday fixture at the Europa-Park Stadion.
As of this update, the Bundesliga’s November 5 matchday preview supplies projected elevens, not official team sheets. Its forecast has Freiburg in a 4-2-3-1 shape: Mio Backhaus; Philipp Treu, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart and Jordy Makengo; Maximilian Eggestein and Yannik Engelhardt; Niklas Beste, Yuito Suzuki and Derry Scherhant; and Igor Matanović. The actual selection may change.
The same preview projects Union in a 3-4-1-2: Frederik Rønnow; Van den Bosch, Friedrich and Khedira; Haberer, Schäfer, Aebischer and Köhn; Imeri; Skarke and Burcu. Treat both formations and player lists as forecasts, not confirmed availability or a final tactical plan.
The Bundesliga says its matchday injury and suspension information is being updated during Friday, November 6. I could not verify a complete, final official availability list at the time stamped above. The league match page says confirmed starting lineups are due around 60 minutes before kickoff; check the Bundesliga team-news roundup and both clubs’ channels closer to the game.
Freiburg enter the weekend after eight Bundesliga matches with 16 points and 18 goals. The official league preview describes the points total as the club’s second-best start at this stage and the goal tally as a new club record. That output gives the home side a clear attacking strength, but it does not guarantee chances against an opponent defending deep.
Union’s profile is different. Bundesliga reports the Berlin side have gone four league games without a loss, with one win and three draws, while scoring three goals and conceding two over that stretch. The preview also notes that Union remain in the relegation zone. Those figures point to a low-margin contest: Freiburg will try to turn possession and pressure into clean chances, while Union may look to stay compact and make transitions count. That is a tactical reading of the reported form, not a prediction of the result.
The league’s projected shapes underline the potential contrast: a Freiburg 4-2-3-1 against a Union back three with wing-backs. If those setups are used, space behind the wing-backs and Freiburg’s ability to move the ball quickly around a crowded defense could matter. Set pieces and second balls may also be important in a match where Union’s recent defensive record has limited opponents, although the final approach will depend on the confirmed lineups and match conditions.
The Bundesliga’s official television schedule lists the Sunday 5:30 p.m. Bundesliga match on DAZN in Germany. Broadcast rights vary by country, so viewers elsewhere should check the local Bundesliga rights holder.

No. The fixture is still scheduled for November 8, 2026, and the official pages checked list it as a future match. This preview therefore does not state a score or claim a winner. After kickoff, the DFB and Bundesliga match centers are the appropriate places to verify the live score and final result.
