Augsburger Panther tickets 2026-27: hockey at the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion
The Augsburger Panther play 26 home games in the 2026-27 DEL season at the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion, a traditional rink holding 6,179. If you want hockey up close, with Bavarian derbies and a devoted crowd, this is a smart stop. Here is how to plan it.
Augsburger Panther: a hockey club with deep local roots
The club's roots go back to 1878 according to the league, which makes the Panther part of the fabric of the city rather than a recent project. They have not built their reputation on trophies but on a loyal following that fills the rink year after year.
Augsburg is a very good city for a short stay. It is one of Bavaria's biggest cities, has Roman origins, a lively old town of pastel houses and canals, and sits only about half an hour from Munich by train. Combining a Panther game with an overnight stay is easy and usually cheaper than staying in the capital.
The Curt-Frenzel-Stadion experience for Augsburger Panther games
The Curt-Frenzel-Stadion holds 6,179 people, so you are never far from the ice. It is a classic hockey building with the feel of an older rink: compact, loud and close to the action. Many fans come by tram from the centre, and arriving early gives you time to find your place in the standing areas or take a seat.
Because the capacity is modest, popular games sell out earlier than in the league's big arenas. Do not wait for match day if you are travelling specifically for a derby.
Panther fans and the Augsburger Panther atmosphere
The Panther crowd is known for supporting its team in every situation. Expect drums, songs and a block of fans who stand and sing through the whole game. For visitors the appeal is how personal it feels: you see the faces in the stands, hear the bench and sense the pressure on every goal.
Wear something warm, since older rinks can be cooler than modern arenas, and be ready for a very local evening with little commercial polish and a lot of passion.
Augsburger Panther rivalries: the Bavarian derbies
The best-established games are the Bavarian ones. EHC Red Bull MĂĽnchen visit on 13 November 2026 and again on 5 January 2027, while ERC Ingolstadt, the traditional regional rival, play in Augsburg on 6 December 2026 and 31 January 2027.
If you can choose only one date, pick Ingolstadt on 6 December: a derby in early winter, close to the Christmas market season, is a fine reason to visit.
Buying Augsburger Panther tickets from home or abroad
Use the club's official box office first; season ticket holders have priority and the rest is released afterwards. Weekend dates and derby nights are the first to go, so decide early. Weekday games are easier, though less atmospheric.
Foreign visitors should check delivery options and keep the ticket on a phone. If a game is sold out, only use reputable resale marketplaces and confirm the seat details. Our email alert tells you when your chosen dates need a decision.
Planning a weekend around Augsburger Panther
The home schedule is dominated by weekend games, which suits a trip from outside Bavaria. A typical plan is to fly into Munich, take the regional train to Augsburg, spend the afternoon in the old town and walk or take a tram to the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion in the evening.
Since the season opened on 17 September 2026 and the regular season ends on 7 March 2027, there is a long window to fit in a game; winter dates tend to give the strongest atmosphere.
