The 2026-27 Regional League season is set to begin, with the BVB Women launching their campaign against Arminia Bielefeld on Thursday. The match will take place at the Rote Erde Stadium, with tickets priced at 3 euros for standing room and 5 euros for seats. The BVB Women's team, under the guidance of head coach Markus Högner, had a successful preseason that enabled them to refine their skills and structure.
Högner highlighted their composure and intensity during the preseason games, stating they aim to maintain this mindset throughout the season. However, defender Yasu Wöhrn will miss the upcoming season due to a severe injury, along with midfielder Marina Scholz who will also be absent. Arminia Bielefeld, a strong contender in the Regionalliga West, will pose a challenge as they finished third last season and have a history of close matches with the BVB Women.
This season, the Regionalliga West will expand to 16 teams, with the addition of six new teams vying for promotion to the 2. Bundesliga or qualification for the new 3. Liga. The first game of the season is scheduled to commence at 7:00 p.m. on August 20.
