Austria Vienna has released the official schedule for the 2026/27 season, kicking off away in Wels on August 15. The first home match follows a week later against Vienna, offering an early highlight for supporters. Exact kick‑off times are pending, but the league has marked each fixture with a Friday placeholder.

When and where does it begin?

The season opener takes place on August 15 at Wels' stadium, where Austria Vienna faces the local side. Just seven days later, on August 22, the team returns to Vienna for the home game against Vienna. Both matches are expected to be played on Fridays until the league confirms the final dates.

What does this mean for the league table?

Currently Austria Vienna sits fourth in the Bundesliga with 36 points from 22 games (11 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses). The side has scored 34 goals and conceded 30, a +4 goal difference. They trail leaders First Vienna W. by a single point, making every home fixture potentially decisive. The upcoming away clash with Wolfsberger AC on August 2 will be another test of the squad’s ambitions.

Any quirks in the schedule?

The much‑talked‑about West Derby will not travel to the West Coast as previously rumored; the long trip to Los Angeles is off the table. Instead, players only need to cover 177 km to the Tyrolean capital. All home games are slated for Saturdays: in August at 17:30, from September at 15:30, subject to TV adjustments. A full overview of all matchdays is available on the official website.

How is the current form?

The most recent outing ended in a 1‑1 draw with Rapid Vienna on April 12, 2026. That gives a recent record of 0 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses – the team remains unbeaten, albeit without a victory. This stability could be vital in the tight title race, where Austria Vienna sits just one point behind the leaders.

What can fans expect this season?

Supporters can look forward to a varied program: challenging away fixtures, an early home derby, and the chance to close the gap on First Vienna W. Exact kick‑off times will be confirmed once the league finalises the schedule. In the meantime, excitement is high – the squad is already training hard to ensure a strong start in Wels.
