FC Red Bull Salzburg will face SK Rapid this Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 17:00 CET, in the final matchday of the regular ADMIRAL Bundesliga season. This crucial encounter is not just another "Austrian Klassiker" but also of great importance for both teams, as the Bulls aim to consolidate their league lead and Rapid battles for a spot in the Championship Group.

For the Green and Whites, led by coach Johannes Thorup, a victory against our Red Bulls is practically mandatory. A draw would only be sufficient for Rapid if SCR Altach fails to defeat Sturm Graz. The tension is palpable, as much is at stake for Rapid to achieve their season objectives.

Our team, on the other hand, aims to conclude the regular season with another win and secure the largest possible lead for the upcoming championship round. The last "Austrian Klassiker" in Salzburg was a true spectacle full of emotions, with our lads emerging victorious with a hard-fought 2-1 win.

The atmosphere at this clash will be unique. Due to disturbances during the Vienna derby, Rapid's two stands behind the goals, including the West Stand, will remain empty. Our away section, however, is unaffected, and tickets are available as usual at the ticket point in front of our section.

For all fans unable to attend the stadium in person, Sky Sport Austria offers the opportunity to follow all the action live. This way, supporters of FC Red Bull Salzburg can experience the important match from home and cheer on their team.
