RB Leipzig host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, 10 October 2026, in a Bundesliga fixture. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 and marks the start of a demanding period of nine matches in four weeks for Die Roten Bullen, who currently sit ninth in the table with six points.
Ahead of the match, Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter said: "We have to defend well, we have to run a lot in Leipzig because it's a team with strong running power." He added: "On the other hand, you can also consider yourself lucky as a club coach to have options, to have strikers."

Public transport is recommended for travel to the match. Parking areas P4 and P6 are unavailable due to parallel events, and parking on Cottaweg is also prohibited. Construction work at Angerbücke is causing restrictions on public transport towards the stadium.

Tram and bus lines are running as scheduled, with the Park and Ride facility at Völkerschlachtdenkmal recommended. Holders of day or season tickets can use the MDV transport network for five hours before and after the match.
