Preußen Münster starts season with early away match in Hesse

Preußen Münster will play its first 3. Liga fixture of the 2026/27 season away in Hesse – a day earlier than originally announced. The DFB released the schedule on June 30, giving travelling fans a clear advantage.

Why the advanced date matters to supporters

An earlier trip to Hesse cuts hotel costs and travel time. Many supporters from Münster plan bus trips, and an extra day means cheaper group rates. Families can also organise the weekend better, as the match now takes place on Friday evening instead of Saturday.

How the new schedule could shape the campaign

The early away test might boost Preußen Münster’s form. After the last result, a 0‑3 loss to SV Elversberg on May 17 2026, the side has collected only one point from its last five games (LLLDD). A positive start could break that streak.

What lies ahead?

Following the Hesse opener, the club hosts league leaders Lokomotive Leipzig on August 8. They are still 42 points behind the leaders, so much work remains. Coach Michael Stein will use the coming weeks to tighten the defence – so far 61 goals have been conceded while only 38 have been scored.

Current figures at a glance

The most recent goal for Preußen Münster came on May 17 2026, when the team fell 0‑3 to SV Elversberg. In the 2. Bundesliga the club sits 18th with 30 points, recent form LDDLL. These stats underline the need for a strong start to the season.
