The stage is set for an exciting Bundesliga clash as Borussia Dortmund travel to face Werder Bremen this Saturday. Here's everything you need to know before kick-off.
Kits: A Fresh Look for BVB
Dortmund will be sporting their sleek new 2026/27 home kit, the same design they debuted last weekend. The black and yellow stripes are sure to stand out against Werder Bremen's traditional green shirts, white shorts, and green socks. Whether you're cheering from the stands or your living room, this is a look that screams confidence and style.
Broadcast: Where to Watch
Can't make it to the stadium? No problem. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sport Bundesliga 4, with pre-match coverage starting at 13:30 CEST. Host Michael Leopold will be joined by pundit Dietmar Hamann, while commentator Hannes Herrmann will call the action. For a true Black & Yellow perspective, tune into BVB Netradio, where Norbert Dickel and Boris Rupert will provide their signature coverage starting 15 minutes before kick-off. You can access the stream on the BVB homepage or via the official app on iPhone and Android. Post-match highlights, press conferences, and player interviews will also be available on BVB-TV.
Referee: A Familiar Face
Bastian Dankert, a 45-year-old referee from Rostock, will officiate his 14th Bundesliga match involving Dortmund. The numbers are in BVB's favor: under his watch, the team has recorded nine wins, two draws, and just two defeats. His last Dortmund game was the 2-0 home victory against Augsburg back in March. He'll be assisted by René Rohde and Stefan Lupp, with Jarno Wienefeld as the fourth official and Johann Pfeifer on VAR duty.
Weather: Expect the Unexpected
Saturday's forecast is a mixed bag—heavy rain is likely, but don't be surprised if the sun peeks through now and then. Temperatures will hover around 12°C in the afternoon, with a 90% chance of rain. So, whether you're heading to the stadium or watching from home, it might be a good idea to have your rain gear ready.
From the kits to the kick-off, this match has all the ingredients for a memorable Bundesliga afternoon. Get ready to cheer on the Black & Yellow!
