Union Berlin vs Köln: Bundesliga 2026/27

This early-November encounter forms part of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season, with both clubs looking to strengthen their position in the league.

The fixture has an interesting place in the calendar. Union Berlin and Köln are also scheduled to meet in the second round of the DFB-Pokal on October 27, 2026, at RheinEnergieSTADION in Cologne. That means the teams will face each other twice within just five days, first in a cup competition and then in the Bundesliga.

Their recent league meetings have produced competitive results. The most recent encounter at An der Alten Försterei, on May 2, 2026, finished in a 2-2 draw. Earlier that season, Union claimed a 1-0 away victory in Cologne in December 2025.

The Berlin club also recorded a 2-0 home win over Köln in December 2023, with goals from Benedict Hollerbach and David Datro Fofana.

These results provide an interesting backdrop to November's meeting, particularly with the two sides returning to the same ground where they shared four goals in their previous Bundesliga encounter.

Experience Football at Stadion An der Alten Försterei

Stadion An der Alten Försterei is central to the identity of 1. FC Union Berlin. Located in Köpenick, in the eastern part of Berlin, the stadium has been the club's home since 1920.

Unlike many modern football grounds, An der Alten Försterei remains predominantly a standing-terrace stadium. Its capacity is approximately 22,012 spectators, including 18,395 standing places and 3,617 seats.

Much of its character comes from its supporters. During renovations in 2008 and 2009, more than 2,300 volunteers contributed around 140,000 hours of work to help rebuild the stadium. That connection between club and community remains one of Union Berlin's defining characteristics.

With the stands close to the pitch and thousands of supporters gathered on the terraces, visitors can experience the distinctive atmosphere that has made Union's home ground so closely associated with German football culture.

For fans visiting Berlin, the match also offers an opportunity to discover Köpenick, a district with its own historical centre, waterways and longstanding connection to the club.

A Bundesliga Match in the German Capital

Watching Union Berlin at home offers a different perspective on football in Berlin. The club's supporters are known for their commitment to Union's traditions, with the familiar chant of Eisern Union forming part of the matchday experience.

The visit of 1. FC Köln adds another established German football name to the occasion. Köln supporters have their own strong travelling culture, and this Bundesliga meeting brings together two clubs with deeply rooted fan communities.

For international visitors, November 1 provides a chance to combine a weekend in Berlin with a Sunday afternoon Bundesliga fixture.
