Hertha Berlin presents on Saturday, July 11 2026, the third pre‑season test match of the 2026/27 campaign against 1. FC Lok Leipzig and streams it live on free TV. Kick‑off is at 15:00 CET at the Bruno‑Plache Stadium in Leipzig, with the broadcast available via the club’s own Hertha TV channel and for free on YouTube.
The official broadcaster is Hertha TV, which streams the full match without interruptions. In addition, the Berlin club’s YouTube channel offers the game at no cost, allowing viewers to watch the entire fixture in high‑definition quality.
The match serves as the final polish before the 2. Bundesliga launch. Coach Pál Dárdai uses the game to trial new tactics and to integrate young talents such as Luca Klein into the starting eleven. The result will indicate how well the squad has gelled after summer signings and which areas still need work.
1. FC Lok Leipzig, also a second‑division side, provides a solid challenge. Both clubs have played several friendlies in recent weeks, but today’s fixture is seen as the decisive preparation match. Lok Leipzig is expected to field a mix of seasoned professionals and emerging players to test their own readiness.
A positive result - a win or a balanced draw - will boost the Berlin players’ confidence and give Dárdai a clearer picture for the first league games. A weak showing could highlight issues that need fixing before the season starts. Either way, the match supplies valuable data for the continued preparation.
Hertha Berlin invites all supporters to watch the game live and get the first taste of the new season. The combination of Hertha TV and YouTube ensures nobody misses the training, whether at home or on the move.
