FC Augsburg reveals ticket info for Klopp’s first home game
FC Augsburg kicks off the 2026/27 Bundesliga season with a blockbuster: Jürgen Klopp makes his first home appearance as a visiting manager on August 13, 2026, against the Fuggerstadt side. Demand is expected to be sky-high – but how can fans secure tickets? The club has released key details.
What’s on the agenda for Augsburg?
On August 13, 2026 (6:30 PM CET), FC Augsburg will face Klopp’s team at the WWK ARENA. The ex-Liverpool boss returns to the Bundesliga – and chooses Augsburg as his comeback stage. The Fuggerstädter finished last season in 9th place with 43 points (12 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses from 34 games), but their recent form reads LLWWW (two straight losses). Their away record remains a concern.
Why tickets are selling out fast
Interest in Klopp’s Bundesliga return is massive. The club warns fans against quick buys on shady platforms, urging them to use official channels only. Prices start at €25 for standing spots, while seats go up to €80. Klopp himself has said in interviews how much he’s looking forward to the game – and that he knows the WWK ARENA atmosphere well. The Fuggerstädter hope for a packed house to welcome the new manager.
How fans can get their hands on tickets
FC Augsburg is selling tickets via its website and at the box office. Members get early access from July 30, 2026, while the general public can buy from August 6, 2026. Risk: Latecomers may strike out – much like the last home game against Union Berlin, which ended 0:4. The Fuggerstädter sit 46 points behind Bayern Munich and are fighting for Europa League spots.
What’s next after the game?
Augsburg doesn’t wait long: on August 17, 2026, they face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Last season, the Fuggerstädter scored 45 goals but conceded 61 – a minus-16 goal difference. Their defense remains shaky, but Klopp’s expertise could turn the tide. Fans are banking on an upset against the ex-Bayern manager.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 9th in Bundesliga, 43 pts, 12W-7D-15L from 34 games, recent form LWWDW.
