The event schedule specifies that games will commence on Saturday at 14:00 and on Sunday at 10:00, with broadcasts delayed by 15 minutes. A list of individual matches includes Baden-Baden vs. St. Pauli, Viernheim vs. Berlin, Deizisau vs. Werder Bremen, Dresden vs. Wolfhagen, Solingen vs. Bayern Munich, Zugzwang Munich vs. Kirchweyhe, Hamburger SK vs. Heimbach-Weis-Neuwied, and Deggendorf vs. Düsseldorf.

Live streaming is planned, with FC St. Pauli intending to provide a stream, though it is not yet available online and will be linked once ready. Additionally, live commentary will be offered by GM Ilja Zaragatski, Angelika "Chessborn" Valkova, and guests, including the players themselves, covering the fixtures for the weekend.
