Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs 1. FC Nürnberg at the BayArena

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs 1. FC Nürnberg tickets: DFB Cup at the BayArena

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026 Bayer 04 Leverkusen host 1. FC Nürnberg in the second round of the DFB Cup. A Bundesliga side against a second-division club, under floodlights and in a straight knockout — ninety minutes to settle it, and extra time if they cannot.

A cup night at the BayArena

The BayArena is one of the most compact grounds in German football: steep stands, a low roof, and sound that stays inside. On a full cup night, with a second-division club bringing a large away following, the difference to an ordinary league fixture is audible from the first minute.

Nürnberg travel well — a club with nine German championships behind them, a history they carry into every cup tie.
