FC Copenhagen Launches Title Defence: Your Complete 2025-26 Fan Guide

FC Copenhagen begin their 2025-26 Danish Superliga title defence on Friday, July 15, 2026, against Viborg FF at Parken Stadium. The Lions, as the club’s fans call them, are chasing a record 17th league crown after winning their record-extending 16th title last season by a single point over Midtjylland, finishing with 63 points. They also swept the 2024-25 Oddset Pokalen, beating Silkeborg 3-0 in the final.

That double gives the side plenty of momentum. Copenhagen enter the new campaign undefeated in their last 12 matches across all competitions. Coach Bo Svensson now leads the team, taking over from Jacob Neestrup, who steered the club to the 2024-25 league and cup double. The squad will be aiming to lift the trophy again in front of home crowds at Parken, which holds 38,065 spectators.

Matchday and how to catch the action

Tickets for the opener against Viborg FF are available through the club’s official channels. Parken Stadium is located in the Østerbro district, a short walk from Trianglen metro station or a 10-minute bus ride from Nørreport. Gates typically open two hours before kick-off, and the stadium’s fan zones offer food, drinks and merchandise.

For those who can’t make it to the ground, every Superliga match is broadcast live on TV3 Sport and streamed via Viaplay. The season runs from mid-July through May, with a winter break in December and January. Copenhagen’s away fixtures take supporters to cities across Denmark, including Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg.

Getting involved beyond the stands

The club is expanding its training base at ‘Number 10’, with a new building for staff and players set to be ready in just over a month. That development shows the scale of investment in the team’s long-term future.

For families and newcomers to the city, Copenhagen is running a free sports event this weekend called ‘What do you want to do?, Try a sport’. Eleven sports halls across the city will open for children to try various activities at no cost. It’s a practical way for young fans to get active, whether they dream of playing at Parken or just want to have fun.

A new green-roofed, multipurpose sports centre in Ørestad City, designed by NORD Architects, is now open 24/7, with fully accessible and adaptable spaces for different user groups. Meanwhile, CopenHill, the waste-to-energy plant with a dry ski slope, is set to add Europe’s tallest outdoor climbing wall when it opens this autumn. That facility gives Copenhagen residents an unusual way to stay fit while taking in the city skyline.

What happens next

The Lions host Viborg FF at Parken on Friday evening. After that, the fixture list includes home and away matches against every other Superliga side twice, followed by the championship round for the top six clubs. Fans who want to join the club’s official supporter organisation, FCK Fan Club, can sign up online for match tickets, away travel and events.

For anyone who wants to play rather than watch, the free sports halls this weekend offer a low-pressure entry point. The city’s broader push for accessible sport, from the Ørestad centre to CopenHill’s climbing wall, means there are more ways to get involved than ever. Kick-off is at 19:00 on Friday. Parken will be full.
