Notes

^ The Teutonia Ottensen v RB Leipzig match was originally scheduled to take place at the Paul Greifzu Stadium in Dessau-Roßlau instead of Teutonia Ottensen's home stadium, the Stadion Hoheluft in Hamburg.^[33] However, the turf at the Paul Greifzu Stadium was poisoned a week before the match, leading to the teams exchanging the home rights to the match.^[34]
^ Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian teams were required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.^[35] Therefore, Shakhtar Donetsk played their home matches at Stadion Wojska Polskiego, Warsaw, Poland, instead of their regular stadium Donbass Arena, Donetsk.^[36]
