VfL Wolfsburg faces a challenging September 2026 schedule with three key fixtures in the 2. Bundesliga. The US sports news outlet VAVEL USA reports this in its latest fixture update for the 2026/27 season.
Head coach Niko Kovač's team starts this phase with a top-of-the-table clash away to FC St. Pauli on September 12th. The Hamburg side currently leads the league, while Wolfsburg sits in fourth place with eight points from four games and a positive goal difference of +4 (10 scored, 6 conceded), trailing by just four points. The match at the Millerntor-Stadion kicks off at 2:30 PM. Just six days later, on September 18th, the home game against SV Darmstadt 98 at the Volkswagen Arena follows with a 12:30 PM start. The phase concludes with the away fixture at 1. FC Nürnberg on October 9th at 8:00 PM.
VfL Wolfsburg enters this important period with a solid start to the season. The team is unbeaten after four matchdays, having collected eight points from two wins and two draws. Their recent form sequence of draw, win, win, draw (DWWD) shows consistent performance. The attack has already functioned well with ten goals, while the defense, having conceded six, still has room for improvement. The complete current table and detailed statistics can be viewed in the standings.
The away game at FC St. Pauli this coming weekend is important for several reasons. It is a direct duel between the league leader and the chasing pack from Wolfsburg. A victory could cut the gap to just one point and massively boost their own pursuit. For the players and fans, a full Millerntor-Stadion is always a special challenge. The Wolves must prove their defensive stability to withstand St. Pauli's strong attacks.
To be successful in these three matches, a complete team performance will be required. The attack must maintain its scoring efficiency, while the defense needs to operate more compactly. Coach Kovač will rely on his experienced players to guide the younger talents in the stressful away fixtures. The current lineup and all squad news can be tracked on the squad page at any time. The injury situation remains a factor, with updates provided on the injuries list.
After the match in Nuremberg in early October, the international break for national team games will be use. For Wolfsburg, this offers a chance to analyze the first phase of the season and address any weaknesses. Planning for the second half of the season is already underway behind the scenes. The exact further schedule with all dates up to the winter break is listed on the fixtures page. The next match for VfL Wolfsburg is the away fixture at FC St. Pauli on September 12, 2026.
