FC Augsburg has its hands full preparing optimally for the upcoming 2025/26 Bundesliga season. Today, June 13, 2025, the club announced the dates for summer preparation. The official start of training will take place on Monday, July 7th, before the first performance tests and medical examinations begin.

Ticket information for these games will also be announced soon.
Training camp in Austria
A special highlight in the summer preparation will be the training camp in Kollerschlag, Austria, which will take place from July 26th to August 2nd. Here the players have the opportunity to prepare for the challenges of the coming season in an optimal environment. At a time when many Bundesliga clubs are planning a similar approach, it is particularly important for Augsburg to get used to it and prepare for the new season in the best possible way. Observing health-promoting measures and intensive sessions is crucial to guarantee a strong performance, as shown by other teams who usually hold their training camps at the end of July in popular destinations such as Austria. Clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt are even planning a tour to the USA.[2]
The final touches will then be made at the Family Day in the WWK Arena, which is scheduled to take place from August 8th to 10th, just a week before the competitive games of the new season start.
