The fixture draw for the 2025–2026 season of the Trendyol Süper Lig was conducted on 4 July 2025 at the Hasan Doğan National Teams Training and Education Facility in Riva, Istanbul, by the Turkish Football Federation. As a result of the draw, the full match calendar for the season and the specific matchweeks for derbies between the major clubs were determined.

Determination of Derby Matchweeks

The matches between Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Trabzonspor have been evenly distributed across all phases of the season. This arrangement ensures that high-attendance matches are spread across various matchweeks and that competition remains balanced throughout the season. The Turkish Football Federation stated that this approach will provide fans with a more intense and continuous sense of excitement.

Derby Schedule by Matchweek

According to the schedule announced after the fixture draw, the derbies between the four major clubs will be played in the following matchweeks:

Matchweek 5: Fenerbahçe – Trabzonspor

This match, the first major encounter of the season, will be played in Istanbul during the early phase of the season. Its scheduling in matchweek five is regarded as a development that will elevate the league’s competitive intensity from the outset.

Matchweek 8: Galatasaray – Beşiktaş

The two historic rivals will face each other in matchweek eight, with the match taking place at Galatasaray’s home ground.

Matchweek 11 (Two Derbies in the Same Week)

• Beşiktaş – Fenerbahçe
• Galatasaray – Trabzonspor

Two major derbies will be played simultaneously in matchweek 11. This period stands out as one of the most critical and high-intensity weeks of the season.

Matchweek 14: Fenerbahçe – Galatasaray

This derby, the most widely watched fixture in Turkish football, will be played in Kadıköy during matchweek 14. In the context of recent tensions and the championship race, this match is considered one of the most decisive of the season.

Matchweek 16: Trabzonspor – Beşiktaş

This match, scheduled two weeks before the end of the first half of the season, will influence both the first-half standings and the teams’ morale heading into the winter break.

Structural Features of the Season

The calendar for the new season has been designed with consideration for international fixtures, European competitions, and Turkish Cup matches. The first half of the season will conclude with matches played on 19–22 December 2025, and the second half will begin on 16–19 January 2026. Between these dates, teams will enjoy a four-week break.

Significance of Derby Matchweeks for the Clubs

Following the fixture draw, club officials offered various assessments regarding the scheduling and sequencing of the derbies.

Galatasaray’s Vice President Metin Öztürk stated that the fixture list is not decisive for the clubs, emphasizing that Galatasaray’s goal remains the same every season: winning the championship. Fenerbahçe Board Member Hulusi Belgü expressed satisfaction with the away matchweeks, noting that they do not conflict with European fixtures.

During periods with concentrated derbies, the stakes extend beyond the championship race to include competition for European qualification, managerial performance, public pressure, and the overall football atmosphere. In weeks like matchweek 11, when two major derbies occur simultaneously, public interest reaches an exceptional level.
