FC St. Pauli faces SV Babelsberg 03 at the Millerntor Stadium on July 22, 2026. The friendly serves as preparation for the new Bundesliga season and gives supporters a chance to secure tickets before the regular fixtures begin.

What ticket options are available?

Official sales started on June 1 via the club’s website and fan shop. Single tickets cost €18, family packages €45 for four people. Members enjoy a priority window from June 15, receiving a 20 % discount. All prices include VAT and a complimentary drink on match day.

Are there any fan bans?

The club confirmed that supporters who broke a stadium ban last year remain excluded. New bans may be issued for violent incidents during the friendly, with security working closely with police to prevent trouble.

Why does the friendly matter?

After a 1‑3 loss to VfL Wolfsburg on May 16 (last result) FC St. Pauli must tighten its defence – the side has conceded 60 goals this season. The match lets coach Fabian Hürzeler test new formations before the league resumes on August 24. Currently the club sits 18th with 26 points, 6 wins, 8 draws and 20 defeats, having lost the last five games (LLLLL).

What does this mean for the upcoming season?

Trailing Bayern Munich by 63 points, the challenge is huge, but a positive showing in preseason can boost confidence. Hürzeler plans to give more minutes to young talents like Noah Katterbach to improve attacking output – only 29 goals have been scored so far. A solid performance against Babelsberg could lay the groundwork for a steadier midfield.

Note: Exact kickoff times will be announced later. Fans should monitor the official website for any updates.
