Löwen Frankfurt tickets 2026-27: hockey at the NIX Eissporthalle

Löwen Frankfurt: a young club in a global city

Löwen Frankfurt were founded in 2010 and joined the DEL for 2022-23 as DEL2 champions. They are one of the newest members of the top league, and the club's growth fits a city that has always attracted visitors and business travellers.

Frankfurt is one of Europe's biggest transport hubs: the airport has connections almost everywhere, and the central station connects directly to Mannheim, Cologne and Nuremberg. For a layover or a short stay, adding a Lions game is a straightforward idea.

NIX Eissporthalle: the home of Löwen Frankfurt

The NIX Eissporthalle has a capacity of 6,990. It is a medium-sized hockey hall rather than a mega-arena, so you can see the ice well from most places and feel the crowd without losing the sense of occasion.

Frankfurt's public transport makes the journey simple, but check the connection home after the game, especially if your hotel is outside the centre. Arrive about 45 minutes before puck drop to settle in with a drink.

The Löwen Frankfurt crowd

As a younger club, the Lions are still building a fan culture, and that is part of the appeal. The core of supporters is loud, the atmosphere is welcoming and the mix of locals and international fans is wider than in most DEL cities.

Expect a lively but relaxed night, without the weight of decades of tradition. If you like to be among the first generation of a club's supporters, this is a good place.

Löwen Frankfurt rivals: Mannheim and Schwenningen

Adler Mannheim, the closest big name by rail, visit Frankfurt on 26 November 2026 and 5 February 2027. Schwenninger Wild Wings, another club in south-west Germany, come on 20 November 2026 and 2 February 2027.

The Mannheim games bring a strong travelling support, so aim for those dates if you want a bigger atmosphere.

Buying Löwen Frankfurt tickets from abroad or locally

Start with the club's official box office. Season ticket holders have priority, and the best dates against Mannheim and at weekends will sell first. Midweek games are easier but quieter.

From abroad, confirm delivery and keep your ticket on your phone. If a game is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces. Our email alert will tell you when your chosen dates are worth booking.

Match-day notes for Löwen Frankfurt visitors

Because the Lions are a younger club, the matchday is less formal than in some traditional markets: you can often find a seat on the day for weekday games. Check the club's official box office for the latest availability and consider arriving early to see the warm-up, grab food and soak up the build-up. Bring a card or phone for payment, as many stands are cashless.

Frankfurt hotels fill quickly during trade fairs, so check the city calendar before choosing your weekend. Staying near the central station keeps the trip simple, since regional trains and the Frankfurt S-Bahn connect directly with the surrounding area, and you can leave straight after the final siren without worrying about complicated connections.
