The Rostock Seawolves face their final preparatory test ahead of the new campaign on Sunday afternoon, traveling to meet reigning German champions Alba Berlin in an exhibition matchup at a sold-out MBS Arena in Oranienburg, according to club announcements. Tip-off is scheduled for 15:00 local time, with arena doors opening at 13:30 local time.
For the Seawolves, this high-profile fixture serves as the ultimate litmus test before they tip off their fifth season in Germany’s top flight, the Basketball Bundesliga, alongside their participation in the BKT EuroCup. Headed into Sunday’s contest, the squad has compiled a 2-2 record across four summer preparation games. The fixture marks a renewal of a preseason rivalry at the Oranienburg venue; four years ago, the two clubs met at the same arena, where Berlin handed Rostock an 88-63 defeat.
Tickets for Sunday’s clash in Oranienburg sold out completely, prompting organizers to arrange alternative viewing options. Supporters unable to secure admission can follow a live video stream on YouTube or track the action via a live ticker provided by the club’s media partner, Ostsee-Zeitung.
Stakes and Roster Preparation
Preseason fixtures offer coaching staffs a final window to test rotations, evaluate new acquisitions, and refine defensive schemes before league points go on the line.
