Second division: promoted, broadcasts and audience records at a glance

Second division: promoted, broadcasts and audience records at a glance

Berlin. The exciting return of traditional clubs and the special spectator development in the second division raise interesting questions this season.

A look at the promoters

The second division experiences a remarkable change to celebrate its 50th birthday. This season there are three new teams that have risen from the third division: SSV Ulm, Prussia Münster and Jahn Regensburg. The direct march of Ulm and Münster from the regional league is particularly striking, which has great potential for enthusiasm. But despite these positive signs, Ulm faces a challenge, since so far there has been no experience in the second division, which could make it outsiders.

transmission of the games

In terms of game transmissions, there is a lot to be the same: The Pay TV station Sky is broadcast live as usual, including conference broadcasts. An additional incentive are the Saturday evening, which are broadcast on free TV at Sport1. Particular attention is paid to the opening game between 1. FC Köln and Hamburger SV, which can be followed live on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. on Sat1.

rising number of spectators - a trend or a unique event?

The audience development in the second division shows strikingly positive tendencies. On the 22nd matchday of last season, more fans came to the games of the second division than in the Bundesliga, a trend that was certainly funded by the presence of traditional clubs such as Schalke and HSV. With the return of 1. FC Köln, which has a stadium capacity of 50,000, this trend could continue to increase. Cologne replaces the smaller club Holstein Kiel and could therefore continue to raise the number of spectators.

surprises are possible

This season there is also a promising insider tip: the 1. FC Nürnberg, trained by the former world champion Miroslav Klose. Despite his limited experience at the coaching bench, the "Club" caused a sensation in preparation with an impressive 3-0 win against Juventus Turin. This euphoria could ensure a positive turn in the season and lead the club out of the gray midfield.

conclusion for the second division 2023/2024

The second division has the potential to experience one of the most exciting seasons in its history. With the return of large traditional clubs, a constant audience development and exciting new coaching personalities, this season could not only become an incomparable experience for the clubs, but also for fans. It is already evident that the second league could become a hotspot for football in Germany.
