August 14: Home vs Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)

Borussia Dortmund will then get their Bundesliga campaign underway on the following weekend. And Marco Rose’s side face a tough test on the opening day of the season, as they go up against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Signal Iduna Park.

Eintracht Frankfurt won this fixture last season to severely dent Borussia Dortmund’s hopes of finishing in the top four. But the Black and Yellows bounced back and eventually qualified for the Champions League at the Eagles’ expense.

With Oliver Glasner now at the helm, Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to gain a measure of revenge. They have made some shrewd signings this summer, and go into the season with the aim of finishing in the top four. And Borussia Dortmund will certainly have to be at their best if they want to start their season with a win.

This game will also see fans return to the Signal Iduna Park for the first time since October 2020, which should be a big boost for the Borussia Dortmund players.
