Bundesliga clubs are starting the new 2025 season full of enthusiasm!

Today, June 15, 2025, the first Bundesliga clubs will begin their preparation for the new season. Three weeks after the end of the season, the promoted teams SV Ried and WSG Tirol start performance tests and their first training sessions. Meanwhile, runners-up Red Bull Salzburg are taking part in the Club World Cup in the USA, which has shortened the club's season break to two weeks. Salzburg is placed in a group with CF Pachuca, Al Hilal and Real Madrid. As [Laola1](https://www.laola1.at/de/red/fussball/bundesliga/news/so- Preparen-sich-die-bundesliga-klubs-auf-die-neue-saison-vor/) reports, the further course of the club's summer preparation depends heavily on the results in the Club World Cup.

The league start is scheduled for August 1st, with the UNIQA ÖFB Cup taking place a week before. Salzburg will compete in the Champions League qualifiers on July 22nd and 23rd, and their opponents will be announced on Wednesday. Wiener Austria and Rapid Vienna also have their first competitive games of the season on July 24th in the second qualifying round for the Conference League.

Start of training and change of coach

SCR Altach and GAK will also begin preparations on Wednesday, June 18th. In addition, five teams from the championship group will start their training measures on June 23rd. Peter Stöger is expected at the training ground as Rapid Vienna's new coach, while Joao Sacramento will be officially introduced as LASK coach on Tuesday. These two coaching changes are the only ones in the upcoming Bundesliga season, as Maximilian Senft retains his role as Ried's coach, having already managed the team in 2023.

The clubs' transfer activities are also interesting. Masters Sturm Graz have so far signed Tim Oermann, Julius Beck and Axel Kayombo. Red Bull Salzburg, on the other hand, took newcomers like Stefan Lainer, Frans Krätzig, Jacob Rasmussen and Sota Kitano to the Club World Cup. Most teams complete their preparation domestically; However, SCR Altach has organized a training camp in Germany, while LASK, Blau-Weiß Linz and WSG Tirol are foregoing training camps.

Test matches and preparation plans

Almost all Bundesliga teams are planning test matches against German Bundesliga teams before the start of the cup. In this regard, some clubs have already scheduled their matches. LASK will play against Union Berlin on July 19th, Rapid also has a game scheduled against Union Berlin on July 20th, and Altach will face SC Freiburg on July 18th. These games are part of strategic preparation to get the new season off to a good start.
