| 20 October 2026 | Borussia Mönchengladbach–Eintracht Frankfurt | 1–4 |
The competition has 2 half-seasons, with each club playing between 3 and 6 matches in each. Because teams may play different numbers of matches, final positions are decided by average points per game: the points a team earns divided by the number of matches it plays.
The top 2 teams from each half-season qualify for the finals, scheduled for spring 2027. That gives Schalke and Frankfurt a route to qualification through either half-season.
