HSV vs Gladbach: Live Stream, TV Channel & Updates

This Saturday (January 17, 2026, kick-off 3:30 p.m.) there will be a traditional duel between Hamburger SV and Borussia Mönchengladbach in Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion. While the Hanseatic League under coach Merlin Polzin want to use their home advantage, the team from the Lower Rhine travels to the Elbe with coach Eugen Polanski.

Both teams know each other well: in the last five duels in Hamburg, both teams have always scored at least one goal – so neutral observers are familiar with this exchange of blows.

HSV has always conceded at least one goal in the last six home games against Gladbach – a statistical indication that the defense will be challenged.

The Foals, on the other hand, are traveling after the clear 1:5 defeat at TSG Hoffenheim, but have an interesting record this season: 75 percent of their Bundesliga games so far have ended with an even number of goals. In addition, Gladbach remained conspicuously inconspicuous in terms of fairness in the last seven league games – no encounter exceeded the mark of four yellow cards.

Update (3:00 p.m.): The HSV – Gladbach lineups are here

• Borussia Mönchengladbach: Moritz Nicolas, Nico Elvedi, Kevin Diks, Philipp Sander, Joe Scally, Luca Netz, Yannik Engelhardt, Rocco Reitz, Haris Tabakovic, Franck Honorat, Florian Neuhaus
• Maintenance SV: Fernandes Dynasty, Jordan, Bakery Jatta, Ferreira Farms, Damion Downs.

Special attention from the guests goes to Haris Tabakovic. The striker, on loan from upcoming opponents Hoffenheim, has already scored nine goals this season and also scored in the most recent away game. Polanski’s offense will once again be built around the beefy attacker, especially since national player Tim Kleindienst was missing recently.

On the Hamburg side, Merlin Polzin is focusing on continuity, although the rumors about a possible commitment of BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl as the future sports director are attracting additional attention. In terms of sport, HSV wants to build on their recent performances in front of their own audience, but will have to work on the stability of their defense.

The last home game against Leverkusen, which was canceled due to weather conditions, showed how fragile the situation in the Volksparkstadion currently is: condensation and snow loads had caused the roof to bulge dangerously. A team of structural engineers inspected the affected areas again this week; final approval only took place after intensive security work.

Behind the scenes, the promoted team is also continuing to plan for the vacant position of sports director, with the name Sebastian Kehl being discussed internally, according to media reports. On the pitch, the focus is now on the 18th matchday – with the hope that the game can kick off as scheduled.

No, the game will not be shown on free TV.

The game can be followed live on Sky (TV and stream) and DAZN (conference).
