German Bundesliga Schedule for This Weekend (Matchday 16, January 10-11, 2026) – Times in WAT

The German Bundesliga (2025/26 season) resumes this weekend after the winter break, with Matchday 16 featuring fixtures spread across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Note that severe winter weather (storm "Elli") has forced postponements of two matches: FC St. Pauli vs RB Leipzig and SV Werder Bremen vs TSG Hoffenheim. The remaining games are set to proceed as planned.

All official Bundesliga kick-off times are in CET (Central European Time). Since CET and WAT (West Africa Time) are currently aligned (both UTC+1 in January, with no daylight saving active in either), the times are the same in WAT—no conversion needed.
