Ferencváros begin their 2026/27 Europa League league phase in Glasgow today, 17 September. Celtic–Ferencváros kicks off at Celtic Park at 20:00 local time and 21:00 in Budapest, giving the Hungarian champions an away opener in their new European campaign.
Kick-off at 21:00 Budapest time
The official UEFA match page confirms the venue and fixture. Starting line-ups will become official closer to kick-off; BSR is not presenting speculative selections as confirmed teams.
The official Ferencváros information also identifies Celtic Park as the venue. The club has published ticket and entry guidance for visiting supporters, who should check FTC's latest notice before travelling.
A demanding first stop
The league-phase opener immediately places Ferencváros in one of European football's most intense away settings. The atmosphere at Celtic Park and the teams' different rhythms could make the opening half-hour important, but official match information remains more reliable than forecasts about the result or line-up.
This article will be updated with a report after the match. More European football coverage is available in the BSR football section.
