May is shaping up to be a thrilling month for Borussia Dortmund fans, with action spanning youth, women's, and senior teams. Here's your essential guide to the Black & Yellow schedule.
Youth League Quarter-Final: TSG Hoffenheim U17 vs. BVB U17
First up, Dortmund's young guns hit the road for a high-stakes clash in the U17 Youth League quarter-finals. Hoffenheim, who finished fourth in the main round, stormed past VfL Bochum 5-2 in the round of 16. But BVB's youngsters are no pushovers—they advanced as group runners-up and delivered a convincing 4-2 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the previous round. This matchup promises fireworks as both sides look to stamp their authority on the path to the title.
Women's Handball Championship Semi-Final: HSG Bensheim/Auerbach vs. BVB Women's Handball
On Saturday, May 2, the BVB women's handball team steps into the spotlight for the semi-final of the German Championship. After taking the first match in the best-of-three series, Dortmund is just one win away from booking their spot in the final. If Bensheim forces a decider, it'll be back to Wellinghofen Hall a week later. Meanwhile, the other semi-final pits HSG Blomberg-Lippe against Thüringer HC—so the stakes couldn't be higher for the Black & Yellow squad.
Bundesliga Action: Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. BVB
Sunday, May 3 sees the senior team back in league action, heading to Borussia Mönchengladbach on the back of a home win against SC Freiburg. Dortmund boast an impressive six-match unbeaten run against their hosts, including a 2-0 victory earlier this season and a 3-2 thriller last year. Their last win in Mönchengladbach came in April 2024, with Marcel Sabitzer netting twice in a 2-1 triumph. Expect a fierce battle as BVB looks to extend their dominance.
Home Farewell: BVB vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
The season's final home game at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK is set for Friday evening, as Dortmund host Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 33. These teams have already served up drama this season—BVB edged a 4-2 penalty win in the DFB-Pokal, while their league meeting ended in a 3-3 draw. But the real emotion comes before kick-off: Julian Brandt, Niklas Süle, and Salih Özcan will receive a heartfelt send-off as they prepare to leave the club. It's a chance for fans to salute three key players in black and yellow for the last time.
Season Finale: BVB vs. Werder Bremen
To close out the Bundesliga campaign, Dortmund travels to Bremen for a final showdown. With the season winding down, every point matters as the Black & Yellows aim to finish strong. Whether you're cheering from the stands or sporting your BVB gear at home, May is packed with must-watch moments for every Dortmund supporter.
