LIVESTREAM Austria: AFC Vienna Vikings @ Danube Dragons, March 28, 14:00 CET (2 pm, 9 am ET)

The Danube Dragons (0-0) host the Vienna Vikings (0-0) in a highly-anticipated Austrian Football League season opener, marking an immediate rematch of last year’s championship game where the Vikings claimed a 27–17 victory in the Austrian Bowl.

Dragons seek redemption with new leadership
Under new head coach Michael Hönig, the Dragons return most of their key players from last season and welcome American quarterback Walter Kuhlenkamp to lead the offense. With experienced personnel and added motivation from last year’s title-game loss, Danube aims to start strong and set a new tone for the season.

Vikings reload with familiar face
The Vikings retained quarterback Russell Minor-Shaw, whose late-season surge played a crucial role in their championship run. Head coach Benjamin Sobotka emphasized maturity and unity as the team looks to defend its title, entering the season with confidence and a clear vision.

A rivalry renewed
This opening derby continues one of the league’s most competitive rivalries—three thrillers last season included several one-score games with high stakes. Expect intense, physical play as both teams look to establish early momentum in what could be another chapter in this back-and-forth series.
