The new season of the 2nd German football league will be opened on Friday, August 7, at 8:30 p.m. by VfL Bochum and Hertha BSC. The match will be played at the stadium in Bochum, and viewers will be able to follow it on Sat.1 and Sky. Tagesspiegel ↗
For Hertha, this will be the second consecutive season-opening match in the second division. In the previous season, they began in Gelsenkirchen against Schalke 04, where they lost 1:2 to the side that later became champions of the competition. This time, the Berlin club returns to the Ruhr region in a different situation, entering the season after a significant squad overhaul.
According to available information, roughly half of Hertha's starting lineup has left the club. The club is set to enter the season with several teenagers and a risky plan meant to help manage the team's rebuilding process. Among the changes, Fabian Reese is also mentioned, whose transfer to VfL Wolfsburg provoked discontent among part of the environment surrounding the club. Die Zeit ↗
Television rights remain an important part of the new season. Sky is once again the broadcaster of the 2. Bundesliga this season, while selected matches will also appear on free-to-air broadcasts. The opening duel between Bochum and Hertha will thus be both the sporting and media kickoff of the competition's new season.
