SK Sturm Graz vs NK Celje Ingressos

When and where the match takes place

SK Sturm Graz host NK Celje at Merkur Arena in Graz on Thursday 5 November 2026, with kick-off at 21:00 local time. The fixture forms part of the Europa League League Phase, bringing together Austria's reigning Bundesliga champions and one of Slovenia's most consistent recent performers.

Sturm Graz's home form has been an important part of their European progress in recent seasons, and a game against a fellow League Phase newcomer like NK Celje gives their supporters another continental night to look forward to at Merkur Arena.

What is at stake for both clubs

Sturm Graz's Austrian Bundesliga programme around this fixture includes games against RB Salzburg, Austria Vienna, Grazer AK and SV Josko Ried, while their other League Phase commitments take in an away trip to AFC Bournemouth and a home game against Marseille.

NK Celje, meanwhile, are combining this trip to Austria with further Europa League fixtures against Omonia Nicosia, RB Salzburg and Ferencváros, plus a later home game against Olympiacos. A result at Merkur Arena would keep the Slovenian side's League Phase progress on track.

Choosing where to sit at Merkur Arena

Fans comparing SK Sturm Graz tickets for this fixture typically weigh up:
