DERBYSTAR presents official match ball of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 for the 2025-26 season

20 May 2025 – DERBYSTAR has today unveiled the official match ball of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 for the 2025-26 season. With the new model of the “Bundesliga Brilliant APS”, DERBYSTAR, which is based in Goch in the Lower Rhine region, is focusing on dynamic colour schemes in muted shades of blue and red for the coming season. For the first time, the iconic ‘Player’ from the Bundesliga logo is also prominently featured in the ball design.

DERBYSTAR has supplied the official match ball of the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 as well as the Supercup since the 2018-19 season. DERBYSTAR has specialised in the production of balls since the company was founded in 1968 and was among the first manufacturers to make balls using synthetic materials. DERBYSTAR, which belongs to the SELECT Sport Group, was already represented in the German top flight in the 1970s – initially thanks to numerous partnerships with clubs – before DERBYSTAR balls were used for all 306 Bundesliga matches in the 1979-80 season.
