Handball season 2025: Exciting games for Helmbrechts and Hochfranken!

The handball season in the major league is just around the corner! Starting this weekend, fans in northeastern Upper Franconia can get excited again. The two regional teams, SG Helmbrechts/Münchberg and HSV Hochfranken, are fully motivated to put their ambitious plans into action. How Frankenpost reports, the start of this season is no picnic, as the two opponents meet on the fourth matchday.

SG Helmbrechts/Münchberg will play their first match on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. against HSG Rödental/Neustadt. HSV Hochfranken, on the other hand, welcomes DJK Waldbüttelbrunn II at 5:00 p.m. Both teams performed differently last season: While HSV Hochfranken reached 5th place, SG ended up in 8th place. Handball is very popular in this region and is held in high regard as a sporting passion.

Preview of the new season

A look at the second league level makes the anticipation even greater! The game schedules for the 2025/2026 season in the district upper league have been published as follows SG Helmbrechts/Münchberg communicates. The structure of the SG teams remains unchanged here: the first women's and men's teams start in the upper league, the second teams in the district upper league, while the third men's team plays in the district league.

It will be particularly exciting for the 2nd women's team, which will remain in the Oberfranken regional league, as well as for the 2nd men's team, which will be able to make a new attempt due to the 1st team not being relegated. The first men's team finished the league season in a solid 5th place and can therefore play in the new season without the pressure of relegation. This paves the way for a little more fun and risk in the games to come.

Another highlight of the season that starts on Friday is that only one team has to be relegated from the regional league - and that concerns HSV Hochfranken II. The opportunity to show what you can do is great, and the SG Helmbrechts/Münchberg teams can look forward to exciting derbies against TV Gefrees and HSG 2020 Fichtelgebirge.

Curiosity about the upcoming games is growing because the signs are good and the teams are hungry for success. Handball is not just a sport, but an integral part of the community here in northeast Upper Franconia. If you don't want to miss the games, you should quickly note down the dates. Let's go!
