Last season

M'gladbach finished 12th in the Bundesliga with 38 points from 34 matches: 9 won, 11 drawn, 14 lost. That is mid-table: not chasing Europe, not in danger of relegation. That is the 2025-26 season; 2026-27 has only just kicked off.

What to know before you follow them

Gladbach are rarely title favourites now. History is rich; the present is mid-to-upper table ambition.

What people sing

  • Die Nullerjahre / Fohlenelf chants

    Borussia-Park still sings like a club that remembers being the best. The repertoire is denser than the recent trophy cabinet.

Who the rivals are

  • 1. FC Köln

    The Rhine derby. Local pride between Cologne and Mönchengladbach, noisy when both are in the same division.

  • Borussia Dortmund

    A Borussia-to-Borussia rivalry with history, less radioactive than Dortmund-Schalke but still real.

Following them from America

Helped by USMNT players at the club over the years, and by fans who like Bundesliga atmospheres without defaulting to Bayern.
