VfB fans watch out! Cup final live: The best public viewing spots!

The eagerly awaited DFB Cup final between VfB Stuttgart and Arminia Bielefeld will take place on May 24, 2025. Fans from the entire region are expected to attend a large public viewing on Schlossplatz in Stuttgart. Up to 35,000 spectators will have the opportunity to experience the game together. The public viewing begins at 3 p.m., while kick-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. In order to enable a large number of participants, entry is free, but it is advised to arrive early by public transport as a high volume of traffic is expected in the city center. The access regulations will be announced on various communication channels and if the capacity limit is reached, access will remain closed.

There are four entrances available for spectators, one of which is suitable for wheelchair users. Safety is a top priority: weapons, dangerous objects as well as backpacks and glass or PET bottles are prohibited in the public viewing area. The size of bags is also limited to the format of a DIN A4 sheet, and flagpoles may be a maximum of one meter long. Bags are checked at the entrances and your own drinks are only permitted in Tetra Paks with a capacity of up to 0.5 liters. Physical well-being is taken care of, but there are no drinking water fountains on the premises.
