Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta (02/17/2026) — Where to Watch, TV Channel & Live Stream

Borussia Dortmund host Atalanta on Tuesday, 17 February 2026 in the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Knockout Round Play-offs (First Leg). It is pure knockout pressure: 90 minutes at Signal Iduna Park that can tilt the entire tie and decide who takes control of the race to the last 16. Dortmund’s European pedigree meets Atalanta’s recent continental success, with both sides needing a statement night after a bumpy end to the league phase.

Match Preview

This first leg matters because it sets the tone for the tie and the path to the Champions League last 16. Dortmund arrive with strong domestic momentum, riding six straight Bundesliga wins, but their Champions League run has stalled with no win in three matches (a draw vs Bodø and defeats to Tottenham and Inter). The bigger concern is at the back: Dortmund have a centre-back injury crisis with four players unavailable, and the squad is also missing captain Emre Can and Filippo Mane for weeks. Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck are unavailable for this match.

Atalanta bring a different profile: a defensive edge in the league phase after conceding only 10 goals, plus an eight-match unbeaten run in Serie A (six wins), including a 2-0 win at Lazio on 14 February. They finished the league phase 15th on 13 points, two places ahead of Dortmund in 17th with 11 points. The historical reference point is recent enough to sting: the teams last met in the 2017/18 Europa League round of 32, where Dortmund progressed 4-3 on aggregate after winning the first leg 3-2. This time the stakes are higher, with Dortmund as 1997 European champions facing Atalanta, the 2024 Europa League winners.
