Galatasaray will open their 2025–26 Süper Lig campaign on August 8, 2025, playing away against Gaziantep FK. Kickoff is set for 2:30 PM ET, 1:30 PM CT, 12:30 PM MT, and 11:30 AM PT, with live coverage on beIN SPORTS.

Confirmed summer signings

This summer’s transfer window brought several key additions to the squad, all signed between late June and early July:

• Leroy Sané , the German winger, joined from Bayern Munich as a free agent on July 1, 2025, and is expected to play a leading role in the attack.
• Przemysław Frankowski , a Polish attacking midfielder, arrived from Lens for approximately €7 million on July 1, 2025, adding creativity and energy in midfield.
• Ismail Jakobs , a left-back with attacking instincts, was signed from Monaco for around €8 million, also on July 1, 2025.

What to expect in the league opener

These new signings have had time to integrate during preseason. Sané brings pace and skill on the wing, while Frankowski and Jakobs bolster both flanks with offensive depth. All three are in contention to feature in the opening match.

The first official fixture will be against Gaziantep FK on August 8, in what will be a key test for Galatasaray as defending champions. Playing away from home, the team will aim to make a strong statement from the start of the campaign.

High expectations heading into the season

With a revamped roster and plenty of optimism, Galatasaray heads into the season opener with confidence. Under the guidance of head coach Okan Buruk, the club is counting on these new faces to elevate their level and spark early momentum. The debut of Sané, Frankowski, and Jakobs, paired with a challenging away match, has generated excitement among supporters.

With the opener set for August 8 at 2:30 PM ET and broadcast live on beIN SPORTS, the 2025–26 Süper Lig is set to begin with intensity and intrigue. It’s the perfect stage for Galatasaray’s new signings to make an immediate impact.
