The Fulda Saints open their new season on May 2, 2026 with a derby against the Marburg Mercenaries.
The wait is over: on May 2, 2026, the Fulda Saints kick off their new season — and straight into a blockbuster. The Marburg Mercenaries, a familiar and challenging opponent, open the schedule.
Preparation was intense and focused. Over the past weeks, the team worked on both physical form and tactical details. Coordination between offense and defense, plus execution of the playing philosophy under game conditions, took center stage.

The coaching staff emphasizes controlled play, few mistakes, and consistent execution in decisive moments. Especially in key phases — third downs, the red zone — the team will need to show its quality.
With the fans behind them, the goal is clear: a successful start to the season and the first derby win.
