Watch: The Schalke trophy lift

Here were the scenes as the Royal Blues got their hands on the Bundesliga 2 Meisterschale.

Full-time: Hannover 3-3 Nuremberg

Hannover twice led Nuremberg but will be playing Bundesliga 2 football next season despite having the promotion/relegation play-off within their grasp. Christian Titz’s men responded magnifically after going behind to Mohamed Alì Zoma’s strike with goals from returnees Kolja Oudenne and Waniss Taibi, and bounced back again after Zoma levelled proceedings shortly after the break. Luka Lochoshvili atoned for his own goal to secure Nuremberg a share of the spoils as Hannover missed out on promotion.

Full-time: Darmstadt 0-2 Paderborn

Full time in Hannover as well! Hannover draw against Nuremberg and Paderborn are in the play-off against Wolfsburg! Kettemann's side do the necessary and beat Darmstadt courtesy of a bit of luck and an outstanding Seimen in goal. Paderborn still have a chance of getting to the Bundesliga!

Full-time: Dresden 2-1 Kiel

Dresden left nothing to chance on their own merits and even leapfrogged Kiel with a 2-1 victory. The Saxons did concede a consolation goal, but defended well otherwise and can now plan for the upcoming season in Bundesliga 2.

Full time in Darmstadt - but not yet in Hannover

Paderborn have done what they needed to do. Two minutes remain in Hanover, separating SCP from the play-off spot.

Full-time: Magdeburg 0-1 Kaiserslautern

Magdeburg dominated, but struggled to convert that into opportunities. At the start of the second half, Krempicki and Zukowski had two big chances before Lautern scored out of nowhere after a penalty was awarded for handball, with Ritter converting. Little happened after that point, with results elsewhere ensuring Magdeburg ultimately secured their Bundesliga 2 survival despite the defeat.

Full-time: Bielefeld 6-1 Hertha

Arminia Bielfeld celebrate their Bundesliga 2 survival. Thanks to an outstanding second half, they beat Hertha and can now celebrate. After the break, they were significantly more clinical and scored six goals. Grodowski in particular was ice-cold in front of goal.

Full-time: Schalke 1-0 Eintracht Braunschweig

Celebrations on both sides! Braunschweig stay up and Schalke celebrate promotion and the title! Schalke ultimately prevail following Aouchiche's goal in the first half. As the match progressed, the Royal Blues could have extended their lead, but the visitors threw everything into it and defended the result, which was enough for them to secure their Bundesliga 2 status!

Full-time: Fürth 3-0 Düsseldorf

Greuther claim a thoroughly deserved win against Fortuna and secure the play-off spot. Klaus in particular stood out for the hosts and posed a constant threat to relegate his former club, who looked devoid of ideas for large stretches.

Full-time: Karlsruhe 1-2 Bochum

Bochum can celebrate one final win to finish the campaign, while the Eichner era at Karlsruhe comes to an end after six and a half years with a defeat. In the first half, the hosts could – perhaps even should – have taken the lead. After the break, however, the match levelled off considerably and Kwarteng's long-range effort for 2-1 in the 70th minute remained the decisive moment of a rather uneventful second period.

Half-time: Schalke 1-0 Eintracht Braunschweig

Schalke are far from being in party mode and are playing out their last match before the title celebrations in a professional manner. The lead is deserved at this point, though Braunschweig are also in the game and could have scored themselves. As it stands, the visitors would be safe from relegation. The second half is coming up shortly!

Half-time: Hannover 2-1 Nuremberg

The visitors took the lead through Zoma but their joy was short-lived as Hannover responded with an equaliser five minutes later through Oudenne. Taibi then fired his side into the lead in emphatic fashion which means, as things stand, Hannover sit in the promotion/relegation play-off.

Half-time: Magdeburg 0-0 Kaiserslautern

After 45 minutes, it remains goalless between Magdeburg and Kaiserslautern. The hosts are setting the tone but are breaking through too infrequently. Atik and Hanslik had decent chances at either end of the field. A draw is enough for the hosts to secure survival, so the home side simply need to carry on in the same vein in the second half.

Greuther dominated the first half and have a thoroughly deserved lead. The hosts created danger time and again, particularly down the flanks, with the impressive Klaus leading the way.

Bochum made the better start and took an early lead, but the hosts gradually found their footing in the match and were rewarded with a deserved equaliser.

Neither side has given much ground to their opponents so far.

Fans sense history

After last season's play-off heartbreak, the Elversberg supporters are witnessing something very special indeed.

A huge chance for Fürth! Kastenmeier is already beaten, but Egouli throws himself into the shot at the last moment and prevents the second goal.

Gyamerah does really well to stop a Kristof cross from finding its man. Very nervy moment for the hosts!

All eyes on the live table

That goal sends Paderborn up to second place in the provisional table and would therefore secure direct promotion to the Bundesliga should things stay the same! Long way to go, though.

First chance

Hauptmann wins the ball on the touchline and delivers it into the centre. There, Vermeij and Wagner take too long and initially miss the chance to shoot. In the end, Amoako does get a shot off from distance, however, it goes over the bar.

Bielefeld team news

Arminia begin their must-win match with a starting XI changed in five positions - the most Bielefeld have made in a single match this season! Hagmann, Knoche, Handwerker (pictured), Rochelt and Uldrikis all drop to the bench, while Großer, Sicker, Lannert, Schreck and Grodowski come into the side.

Grönning leads the attack

With Kownacki unavailable and Schuler also ruled out, and Winkler – who had recently been filling in centrally – suspended, Grönning gets his chance up front. The Dane had made only three starting appearances in the league this season, the last of which came in October 2025.

Hertha team news

The Berliners have arrived with a severely depleted squad. In addition to the players previously missing, they are also without the suspended Brekalo (red card) and Winkler (fifth yellow card), while Karbownik (pictured) is also ruled out. This opens the door for young talent, with 17-year-old Niklas Hildebrand (previously only in the professional squad on Matchday 34 of last season) and 20-year-old Soufian Gouram (called up for the very first time) both named on the bench.

Düsseldorf team news

The visitors must do without experienced campaigner Matthias Zimmermann and striker Cedric Itten in this decisive match, as both are suspended after accumulating yellow cards. They are replaced by Valgeir Lunddal and Sima Suso. For the Icelander, it is his first start since February.

Fürth team news

Fürth need a win with a three-goal margin, and Heiko Vogel has gone for it with attacking formation. Striker Dennis Srbeny comes in for holding midfielder Maximilian Dietz and, just as on Matchday 27 against Karlsruhe, could actually operate as a defensive midfielder. In addition, Sayfallah Ltaief replaces Aaron Keller on the left.

Braunschweig team news

For the visitors, Yardımcı, former Schalke player Frenkert and Marie all make way. Meanwhile, Mijatović, Hoti and Gomez come in as their starting XI replacements.

Rare start for Scholl

Paul Scholl starts for the first time in three months (a 5-1 loss away at Nuremberg in February).

Schalke team news

The champions bring back Karius, Ndiaye and former Braunschweig player Kuruçay into the starting XI. They replace Müller, Becker (both on the bench) and Sánchez (not in the squad).

No massive rotation

In the only match today that has no major prize of promotion or survival at stake, both teams make three changes each to their starting XI.

More on that Kiel team

Like their opponents, Kiel also make one change with Bernhardsson replacing Davidsen, who picked up an injury during their 3-1 defeat against Magdeburg.

More on that Dresden team

Following their 2-1 defeat against Braunschweig, Stamm makes just once change with Müller replacing Boeder in defence.

More on that Paderborn team

Kettemann makes only one change to his starting eleven following the 2-2 draw against Karlsruhe, with Müller starting ahead of Bätzner.

Eichner's last week at the helm

Karlsruhe announced last month that Christian Eichner is to leave the club at the end of the season, and the coach said on his final week: "It was a tough week, that has to be said, as things were very busy. There were also many wonderful moments, which naturally took centre stage."

More on that Darmstadt team

Florian Kohfeldt makes three changes following the draw in Münster: Holland (pictured), who will be leaving Darmstadt, Vukotić and López replace Pfeiffer, Furukawa and Petretta.

More on that Münster team

Preußen make five changes to their starting XI, with four players forced out - the suspended trio of Jorrit Hendrix, Jannis Heuer and Torge Paetow, along with the injured Marvin Schulz. Jano ter Horst (pictured) returns to the side after completing his suspension.

More on that Elversberg team

Captain Lukas Pinckert, who was only used as a substitute in the last match at Düsseldorf due to a knock, returns to the starting XI today, while long-term injury absentee Bambasé Conté (pictured) starts for the first time in two months (a 3-1 win over Bielefeld in March).

More on that Kaiserslautern team

Torsten Lieberknecht makes two changes to his starting XI following the 2-0 win against Bielefeld. Fabian Kunze and Naatan Skyttä (pictured) start in place of Luca Sirch (suspended) and Norman Bassette (not in the squad).

More on that Magdeburg team

Petrik Sander makes one change to his starting XI following the 3-1 win against Holstein Kiel. Silas Gnaka (pictured) comes in for Laurin Ulrich, who is not in the squad.

More on that Hannover team

Hannover make two changes to the starting eleven, with Waniss Taibi and Kolja Oudenne (pictured) coming in for Noel Aseko Nkili and Benjamin Källman.

Petrik Sander on facing Kaiserslautern

"Everyone knows we still have one more step to take [to guarantee safety]. You can sense that from the players as well, but Lautern will also want to finish the season on a high. We know what we have to do."

Mitch Kniat on facing Hertha

"The pressure has been on us throughout the campaign, but we now have a final to play. We need to keep our nerves under control. We try to give our all every day and have never deviated from that approach. We need to show from the get-go that our fans can count on us."

Lars Kornetka on facing Schalke

"Schalke have been delivering strong performances for a long time now. We know what's coming our way. We want to stand up to them and get stuck in. I'm confident we can pull that off."

Tim Walter on facing Dresden

"The lads need to play with the same mentality they've developed in recent weeks. There's always something to play for, and we're heading to Dresden to get the three points. We want to go into the summer on a high."

Thomas Stamm on facing Kiel

"We need to focus on ourselves. We've done a lot of things right in recent weeks and want to hold onto that. Kiel are an energetic, hard-working side. I have absolutely no doubt that they'll go all out to win the game."

Stefan Leitl on facing Bielefeld

"The atmosphere in the stadium is going to be very emotional and intense. Bielefeld desperately need the points to stay in the division. For us it, it's about playing with the right attitude and holding our own. We want to win the game and finish the season as well as we possibly can."

Miron Muslić on facing Braunschweig

"We want to give our extraordinary fans another reason to celebrate. We're aiming for our 13th home win and want to hit the 70-point mark. We're determined to give it all we've got."

Heiko Vogel on facing Düsseldorf

"We know what we need to do to achieve our objective, but we can't afford to be too gung-ho in attack or try and win the match in the first 10 minutes. That would be fatal."

Alexander Ende on facing Fürth

"It's an extremely important game. We want to secure our top-flight status without having to rely on other results. Under the circumstances, this is certainly the biggest game of my coaching career so far."

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Paderborn

"For Paderborn, it's all about gaining automatic promotion to the Bundesliga or finishing in the promotion play-off place. Everything's still possible for them, so we're going to do our bit. We want to win and will do all we can to achieve that."

Ralf Kettemann on facing Paderborn

"To say we have nothing to lose in Darmstadt would be wrong. We've been near the top for a long time and want the three points. After Friday's draw with Karlsruhe, nobody would have expected us to still be in with a chance. The fact is there's still plenty to play for."

Christian Titz on facing Nuremberg

"There's no point beating around the bush. Sunday is like a final for several clubs. We want to come out on top on the final day. I'm pleased we're still in with a chance of being promoted."

Vincent Wagner on facing Münster

"We deserve to be in contention [for promotion] and we're looking forward to the game. Nothing's handed to you on a plate in this league. If we want to get promoted, we need to put in the work. We need to play our own game, which we've managed often enough this season."

Christian Eichner on facing Bochum

"Our goal on Sunday is not only to win the match but to climb above Nuremberg [into eighth]. The lads should enjoy every moment of it. The ground will be packed and it looks set to be the warmest day of the week."

Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Magdeburg

"We haven't written off this season yet after our important win against Bielefeld. Now, our aim is to climb one more place in the table by fulfilling our duty and approaching this match with the utmost professionalism."

Alois Schwartz on facing Elversberg

"We owe it to our fans to give our all one final time. I haven't been here very long, but I'd like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude. It's a great shame that we weren't able to preserve our top-flight status."

Miroslav Klose on facing Hannover

"We've achieved a lot this term. We've tended to struggle towards the end of the season, so we're particularly pleased that we've only lost one of our last eight games. We've shown great character."

Uwe Rösler on facing Karlsruhe

"We're motivated and we've been training well. We'll approach this match like any other. I want to see the same attitude we showed in the game against Hannover. I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to do that."
