Time-zone note: Augsburg is on CEST, UTC+02:00, on October 24. Germany’s 2026 change back to standard time takes place on Sunday, October 25, so the match is played before the clocks move back. The official FC Augsburg schedule labels this kickoff 15:30 CEST, and the Bundesliga fixture listing gives the corresponding 13:30 UTC time. If you are following from another country, convert from 13:30 UTC using the offset in effect at your location on October 24; do not use the German offset after the clock change.
In its October 22 pre-match update, FC Augsburg said Steve Mounié and Noahkai Banks remain sidelined. The club also said Saturday’s match comes too soon for Alexis Claude-Maurice, who has recently made a partial return to team training. Augsburg reported that the rest of the squad is available for selection. The update does not give a new return date for those three players, so their availability for later fixtures should not be assumed from this report.
Union Berlin’s October 23 match preview says head coach Mauro Lustrinelli and his staff will have to do without Stanley Nsoki and Andrej Ilić for the trip to Augsburg. The club preview does not state a reason for either absence. These are the latest named unavailabilities in the two clubs’ official pre-match updates checked for this article. Those reports do not name a player suspended for this fixture; supporters should check the official match center and club channels for any later squad update.
Neither club has published a confirmed starting XI in the cited previews. The Bundesliga match center says the confirmed lineups are expected around 60 minutes before kickoff. Any formation or lineup shown before then should be treated as a prediction, not as final team news.
Augsburg will be looking to respond at home after a 4–3 defeat away to SV Elversberg on October 17. The club’s pre-match preview says Augsburg has scored 16 goals through six league matches and was tenth in the table before Matchday 7. Head coach Manuel Baum has described Union as physically strong, determined, and dangerous from set pieces. That is the coach’s assessment of the opponent, not a guarantee about how Saturday’s game will unfold.
Union arrives after a 0–0 draw with Borussia Dortmund, according to its official preview, which also notes the team’s clean sheets in its two most recent matches. The clubs enter with different recent results, but the match outcome, goals, and in-game events remain unknown before kickoff. Union won the previous meeting 4–0 on the final day of the 2025–26 season, a result that provides background but does not determine the next match.
There is also a possible personal milestone for Augsburg defender Jeffrey Gouweleeuw. The Bundesliga match center reports that he reached 274 Bundesliga appearances for Augsburg against Elversberg, drawing level with Daniel Baier’s club record. If Gouweleeuw appears against Union, he could move ahead of Baier. His selection is not confirmed, so the record is a pre-match possibility rather than a completed update.
The home fixture will take place at the WWK ARENA in Augsburg. Fans attending should confirm ticket details, stadium access, and transportation guidance through FC Augsburg’s official channels before traveling. The scheduled kickoff does not establish when gates open or how long a trip to the stadium will take, so check those details separately and allow time for local matchday conditions.
Union Berlin lists Sky and DAZN as live broadcast options in its official match preview, alongside audio coverage from rbb24 Inforadio and rbb24. Broadcast rights and availability differ by country, so viewers outside Germany should check the Bundesliga’s broadcaster information or their local rights holder rather than assume a German service is available in their market. The official Bundesliga match center and Union’s live ticker are useful options for text updates, lineups, statistics, and the match timeline.
For the most reliable final checks, revisit the match center on Saturday before leaving or setting a reminder. It can show whether the kickoff time or venue has changed, publish the confirmed lineups when available, and provide live match information after play begins. Club updates are also the appropriate source for any newly announced player availability. Predicted lineups, reports without club confirmation, and old injury lists should not be treated as current team news.
