TSG Hoffenheim is preparing for the 2025/26 Bundesliga season with several significant recent developments. The club, under coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, finished 7th in the previous Bundesliga campaign and continues to invest in both its squad and infrastructure[1]. Hoffenheim has announced several preseason fixtures in July, including matches against Freiberg (July 12), Lauffen (July 16), Elversberg (July 19), and FC Homburg (July 23)[3].

For the upcoming season, Hoffenheim is making adjustments to their squad. Wouter Burger has joined the team from Stoke City, while Anton Stach has completed a transfer to Leeds United[5]. The club is also reportedly close to exercising the buy option for defender Leo Østigård, and has secured a new long-term contract for forward Fisnik Asllani[7]. Additional transfer activity includes the loan departure of Stanley Nsoki to Union Berlin and the signing of Japan international Koki Machida[3].

On the injury and squad fitness front, Marius Bülter has missed parts of preseason due to a thigh injury but is expected to be available as a rotation option early in the season. Adam Hlozek and Fisnik Asllani are likely to start as the main attacking duo[7].

Hoffenheim’s youth development remains a strong point, highlighted by U19 player Nick Breitenbuchner being included in the U19 EURO Team of the Tournament[3]. The club continues to actively promote academy talent to the first team.

In the 2025/26 Bundesliga, current tables cite Hoffenheim as aiming to improve upon their previous 15th place finish, with strong competition expected from clubs such as Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt[2][4][6].
