Our monthly schedule, August
In the last month of the meteorological summer, every weekend turns black and blue
Between international friendlies, welcome returns, and the official season kick-off, August will mark the true beginning of Atalanta’s new campaign. Five key fixtures await the Nerazzurri in a month that will serve as the perfect bridge between the final stretch of preseason and the start of competitive action. With one match every weekend, August promises to be packed with excitement, leaving no room for summer blues.
First up on the summer tour through Central Europe: Leipzig. The Nerazzurri will take to the pitch of the Red Bull Arena as Die Roten Bullen play hosts for the pre-season opener following the break-in family test in Clusone. The Saxony showdown is scheduled for Saturday, August 2, 15:00 CEST.
Next stop, still in Germany but this time along the Rhine banks: Atalanta's summer campaign rolls into Cologne, where they'll square off with Die Geißböcke on Saturday, August 9, at 15:30 CEST, at the RheinEnergieStadion.
On Saturday, August 16, all eyes will be on the Stadio di Bergamo, bound to host a very special occasion, the 26th edition of the "Trofeo Achille e Cesare Bortolotti". In a throwback to the very first edition of 1992, Juventus will once again contest the trophy dedicated to the two legendary Nerazzurri presidents.
Following this unofficial home debut against the Bianconeri, Bergamo will open its gates once more for a back-to-back home fixture on Sunday, August 24, already one of the summer’s marquee dates. Ivan Jurić will make his official debut in the Atalanta dugout as the Nerazzurri host Pisa after 11 years (25 years if counting Serie A). Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CEST.
Closing out August with poetic symmetry, the month finishes on the road just as it began. On Saturday, August 30, Atalanta heads to Parma for their first away fixture of the 2025/26 campaign. All eyes will be on the Stadio Tardini for kick-off at 18:00 CEST.
