Hertha BSC host 1. FC Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga, Germany's second division, at Olympiastadion in Berlin. This early season fixture is crucial for both sides, as they seek their first points of the campaign. Hertha, under manager S. Leitl, aims to lay down a marker, while C. Titz's Magdeburg will look to build on their last victory against Hertha.

The Olympiastadion's substantial scale, with its 74,667 capacity, is a key part of the matchday experience. The stadium is easily accessible by public transport, with the U Olympia-Stadion bus stop just a four-minute walk away, and several metro stations also nearby.
