Notes

edit
  1. ^ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, each local health department allows a different number of spectators.
  2. ^ Gazprom was the main shirt sponsor until 24 February 2022, when their logo was replaced by the words "Schalke 04" on the team's shirts in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine; the sponsorship deal was terminated on 28 February 2022.[4][5] Vivawest was announced as the new main shirt sponsor on 5 March 2022.[6]
  3. ^ Dabrowski was initially appointed as interim coach, but the move was made permanent on 21 December 2021.
