Instead, as things stand, the schedule for Matchday 30 includes four matches in the Bundesliga and five Bundesliga 2 matches on Easter Sunday (April 17). Depending on progress in the UEFA Europa League, the DFL reserves the right to move the Bundesliga match between 1. FC Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt, which is currently scheduled for Easter Sunday (5:30 p.m. CEST) to Saturday, April 16 (3:30pm CEST).
The next set of exact fixtures for the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 are expected in calendar week 12, to be announced between 21 and 25 March, and will take the progress of international club competitions into account.
