At the promoted team

Bulls start the new season away in Graz

The new Bundesliga fixture list is here! Red Bull Salzburg will host promoted team GAK on the first matchday. The first home game under coach Pep Lijnders will take place on August 10.

The Austrian Bundesliga published the fixture list for the 2024/25 basic round on Friday morning, with runners-up Salzburg already facing some tough challenges at the start. To kick things off, the Bulls have to travel to Graz on August 2 (20:30) to face newly promoted GAK (with new signing Moritz Eder from FC Pinzgau). The big cracker in the first round is Rapid against Sturm Graz (August 4, 5 p.m.). The second round is also the first home game for coach Pep Lijnders and Co. on August 10 (19:30) when Blau-Weiß Linz come to the city of Mozart. As a reminder: Last September, coach Gerald Scheiblehner's team took three points from Salzburg.

Round three will take place on August 17, when the Bulls face LASK in Linz at 19:30. Rounds four and five have also already been scheduled. Hartberg, with on-loan player Justin Omoregie, will visit the Red Bull Arena on August 24 (17), followed a week later at the same time by record champions Rapid. The clash with double winners Sturm Graz will take place in the Styrian capital in the ninth round (October 5/6). The second legs begin on November 02/03.
