The event was supposed to have been held at the iconic intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue, on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Celebrity breakups sometimes come as a shock—especially when the split happens months or even days before the couple was set to marry.
Stars who cancelled their weddings include Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, and Brad Pitt.
For some couples, like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, their engagement lasted for years before they broke things off.
Not every celebrity engagement ends in a marriage.
For some star couples, the time between a proposal and their highly anticipated "I do's" forces them to take stock of what they really want. They might realize things are happening too fast, or that they're—plot twist—in love with someone else. Whatever the reason, they're bound to make headlines when they call off their wedding, sometimes within days of the planned ceremony.

As markets anxiously await the outcome of the current FOMC meeting, Treasury yields notched new 19-year highs in trading Tuesday. The closely watched 10-year surpassed 5.0% Tuesday morning in a high not seen since July 2007. Even the 30-year Treasury yield rose sharply, hitting 5.4%, its highest since June 2007.
In addition to worries over persistent, rising core inflation (one of the Fed's preferred inflation measurements), skyrocketing oil prices and shortages create further pressure on Treasuries. Currently, the rolling one-month correlation between the 10-year Treasury yield and front-month WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude sits at 0.96 per BMO Capital Markets ****** ysis.
Bond yields and oil prices have moved in tandem for much of this year as investors position for the longer-term inflationary impact of higher oil prices. And with major oil execs sounding the alarm on global supply cache shortages and strategic reserves depletion that help to temporarily soften spiking oil prices for consumers, these pricing pressures are likely to continue in the near-term. Saudi Arabia announced the closure of its East-West pipeline that bypassed the Strait of Hormuz after it came under attack late last week, and cancelled some shipments to Europe, reported Reuters.
"Normally, the relationship isn't as clean as it is now, but the geopolitical drivers behind the price of oil and global inflation are so prominent that the normally modest correlation has become much tighter," Steve Sosnick, Chief Strategist, Interactive Brokers told CNBC. "As long as oil prices remain firm and continue to drift higher, this will add pressure to interest rates."
As macro uncertainty continues and inflation persists, bonds and oil/energy will be categories to keep a weather eye towards and could see renewed ETF investor attention. Currently, investors are seizing the opportunity in longer-term bonds, with $9.7 billion flowing into the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) in the last three months though the fund is only up $3.4 billion net YTD according to FactSet data. It will be a category likely to see action in the wake of the FOMC rate decision. As bond yields climb, prices fall as they move inverse to each other, and should yields climb higher, investors may choose to scoop up longer duration bonds at depreciated prices for future gains. However, an exodus is more likely until the path of rate hikes becomes more certain.

I've used the word "penultimate" seemingly endless times in the last month or so, so here's one more. The WooSox capped off their finale in Lehigh Valley (Phillies AAA), finishing the PENULTIMATE series of 2026 in dramatic fashion despite outplaying the IronPigs for most of the game. Gage Ziehl had a gritty if not spectacular performance, pitching into the sixth and coming back from being taken yard in the fourth without his confidence shaken. All told, the 23-year-old righty struck out eight to bring his total to 126 in 116 innings pitched (96/85, respectively, of those being in Portland) and is really shaping up into someone to watch in 2027. The pitching staff as a whole issued zero walks despite being taken for nine hits, but the game never looked out of control save for when Noah Song came in to let two runs up in the sixth.
Luckily, though, the WooSox offense had a home run derby, sending five over the fence, including two from Allan Castro. That second one hoisted the WooSox from a deficit to a lead that Sam McWilliams wouldn't give up. Arias also hit his 24th home run of the season (and his 5th in Triple-A.)
Rain cancelled the last game of the season against Binghamton (Mets AA) in an anticlimactic fashion. But what a season it was for the Sea Dogs.
The season began with interested eyes watching Franklin Arias become an absolute hitting machine in the spring, along with Anthony Eyannson dealing, only for the former to be promoted to Triple-A and the latter dealt to Baltimore (or rather, Chesapeake) in the Adley Rutschman deal. Still, Brooks Brannon raked, the team had 8 walk-off wins and generally found ways to come up on top. The pitching staff headed by Hayden Mullins, in his own right a guy to watch, pitched a combined no hitter in April (but not a shutout). And Justin Gonzales looks formidable as an everyday outfielder a few years in the future. Overall, the cupboard is not as fully stocked as some teams, but there's some players to feel good about starting to make their mark in the mid-levels of the farm.

Ex-Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had one of the more candid conversations of his career on a podcast that came out on Thursday.
Speaking on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, Rodgers spoke on a range of topics, including why his engagement to actress Shailene Woodley ultimate broke down.
According to Rodgers, the pair split at least in part due to the fact that his former paramour wanted to engage in relations with another man prior to the pair getting married.
"Then I date Shailene [Woodley]. I propose and she says yes." Rodgers said on the podcast. "Not a couple of days after that she tells me, "You know, before I get married I have got to go [sleep with] this guy"…she told me that and then she took off the ring by March [2021, after Rodgers said no]."
With Rodgers declining request, him and Woodley broke up shortly after and cancelled their otherwise imminent engagement.

Roma open the Champions League campaign with a creditable 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce, as Bryan Cristante's opener was cancelled out by Archie Brown.
The Giallorossi returned to the tournament after seven years and coming off three consecutive Serie A victories. Only Lorenzo Pellegrini was still out of action. Devyne Rensch was back, with Donyell Malen, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé.
Fenerbahce's last Champions League proper game was 18 years ago, but Matteo Guendouzi was suspended after insulting French fans during the fiery play-off with Lyon. Jayden Oosterwolde and Marco Asensio were injured, with ex-Serie A players Milan Skriniar, Romelu Lukaku and Mert Muldur in the squad, plus Mason Greenwood, who chose the Turkish side over Roma this summer.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Australia's Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has cancelled the registration of C&N Southwest Sydney after finding serious breaches in professional conduct and determining that the company no longer met registration requirements.
The tax watchdog's investigation concluded that C&N Southwest Sydney director Elle Ristevski, along with de facto and shadow director Peter Ristevski, were no longer "fit and proper persons", a statement said.
According to the TPB, the Sydney-based company violated 12 provisions of the code of professional conduct.
The investigation found evidence that the business gave false or misleading information to the TPB during its inquiries.
The board also found that false or misleading information had been supplied to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The information was used to support clients in appointing 'straw directors'.

On a cold November morning, designer Isaac Mizrahi gets up, leaves his apartment, and trudges to the corner newsstand to pick up a copy of Women's Wear Daily. It's the day after Mizrahi's Spring/Summer 1994 show, and the ink on the reviews is still wet. Reading from the pages, he quotes, "'His usually great color sense failed him, his fabric sense failed him, and certainly, his sense of how a modern woman dresses after 8 p.m. failed him." The verdict is withering. Mizrahi, one of the great artists of '90s ready-to-wear fashion, has been tossed out. Disgraced. Lightly "cancelled," as some might call it these days.
Douglas Keeve's sublime 1995 documentary, "Unzipped," follows Mizrahi in the aftermath of a train wreck, piecing his reputation back together with his next collection, attempting to make something beautiful from the rubble. We find Mizrahi's world in grayscale, drained of color in the wake of critical and cultural failure. Then, the opening notes of Sandra Bernhard's 1994 cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" cue the pigmentation, cascading over bright images of models in fittings, garments hanging from racks, and plenty of DayGlo faux furs. In her version, Bernhard alters the lyrics to pay tribute to Sylvester, whose untimely death left an immense legacy. "Sylvester, sister," Bernhard coos, "You were so beautiful, you were so fragile, you were so . . . real."
But just before Bernhard finishes the word, the song fades to silence, as if to say that realness — genuine authenticity in your life and work, at the cost of criticism — will always be snuffed out before it can be fully appreciated. That is the price of beauty. What is up must always come down.
(Janus Films) Isaac Mizrahi in "Unzipped"
After years in cinematic obscurity — the film hasn't been readily available outside of the eBay market in decades — "Unzipped" will return to theaters later this month, with a loving 4K restoration from Janus Films, just as another fashion-world controversy is heating up. Earlier this week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art declared it would no longer proceed with its Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition honoring John Galliano, scheduled to debut next year. When the scrapped "John Galliano: Horizons" was announced in July, the exhibition was immediately met with an outpouring of criticism. Detractors accused the museum of being tone deaf, citing a 2011 video of Galliano going on a drunken antisemitic and racist rant at a Paris bar, for which Galliano was promptly ousted from his spot as creative director at Dior. Following the video surfacing, Galliano apologized, went to rehab, and, over the last few years, experienced a brand resurgence that some would call a whitewashing.

BETHEL PARK — Due to ongoing inclement weather in the area, the Week 2 non-conference game between Moon Area and Bethel Park has been cancelled on Thursday, Sept. 3.
Tonight’s varsity football game at Bethel Park has been CANCELLED. More information to come. pic.twitter.com/5SoeBN9Fsw
At around 6 p.m., the Pittsburgh National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Bethel Park area.
Shortly after the warning was issued, thunderstorms, along with heavy rain and hail, began to fall, and the storms continued into the 7 p.m. hour before the originally scheduled kickoff time.
The game between the two teams was part of the first WPIAL Insider Thursday Night Primetime game of the year, with Moon Area aiming to even up its record after a tough 28-25 loss to Montour in Week 1. Bethel Park was coming off a tight 14-13 win over Class 6A Hempfield.

The New Mexico Activities ***** ociation has leveled a first strike against the Mayfield High School football team following an ugly on-field incident last week.
During a second-quarter skirmish that initially involved a couple of players from both the Trojans and Organ Mountain on Friday night at the Field of Dreams, approximately two dozen Mayfield players rushed off the sideline and onto the field to join the fray.
Following a multi-day investigation, the NMAA on Wednesday announced that Mayfield, under the organization's still relatively new "2 Strikes" sportsmanship initiative, would be issued a first strike.
If Mayfield's football team is involved in any other serious on-field issue the rest of the season and the NMAA deems it "strike" worthy, a second strike would mean the Trojans would have whatever remains of their season cancelled.
Organ Mountain did not receive a strike.

The 2026 summer transfer window closed this Tuesday in Europe. Several last-gasp deals were made official... or collapsed late last night or overnight, while we were all already asleep.
OneFootball brings you a recap of the major announcements from the night:
- Double thunderbolt for Monaco! Lamine Camara will ultimately not be joining Chelsea, just as Folarin Balogun will not be signing for Everton either! AS Monaco cancelled the deal for the Senegal international just when they thought they had finally managed to sell their American striker. Chelsea are furious, and the Monégasques have just waved goodbye to around €100 million. (Fabrizio Romano, RMC, Foot Mercato)
- After an endless saga and absurd twists and turns, Malick Fofana has finally signed for Sunderland. The transfer fee is estimated at €35 million including bonuses.
- Quinten Timber has left OM for Crystal Palace in a deal estimated at €20 million.

On paper, it looked like a big advantage that the Atlanta Braves got to play the makeup game for a June 18 rainout at the end of August. The San Francisco Giants would have to wait 10 weeks, fly across the country ahead of a six-game road trip, and trade away six veterans in the interim before facing a division-leading team on a seven-game win streak.
But waiting meant the Braves had to face a trio of rookies that weren't on the roster three weeks ago. Monday night, Sluggin' Jonah **** , Nate "The Great" Furman, and Turner "King Of The" Hill rained on the Braves parade with three runs, five fits, and four RBIs in a 7-3 win. Their sad fans were Tomahawk-chopping their umbrellas as they walk out of the stadium in despair.
This means that, perhaps unofficially, the Giants have finally swept a series in 2026. And it only took them until the last day of August! Their rainy visit to Hotlanta Wetlanta in June saw one game cancelled and another postponed after a two-hour rain delay, but the Giants won both halves of an improvised doubleheader on the one day with ded=cent weather. This means the Giants technically have swept a series this season, won a series on the road in the process and are currently on a three-series unbeaten streak.
Former Brave Anthony Molina (2-0), acquired in the deadline deal for Tyler Mahle, won his second game in seven days by giving up three runs in five innings in his first start of the season and the third of his career. He struck out five straight Braves between the 3rd and 4th innings and escaped the 5th after giving up four hits but only one run, and leaving with the game tied 3-3.
The Giants broke things open in the top of the 6th thanks to Osleivis Basabe and a trio of rookies. Basabe led off the inning with his 4th home run of the season, bouncing it off the top of the center field wall just above the Papa John's sign, which should probably earn him some free terrible pizza, right?

Michael Olise has picked up right where he left off this summer, scoring a cool-as-you-like goal in Bayern Munich's league opener against VfB Stuttgart and having an even slicker finish cancelled by a narrow offside ruling in review.
The Frenchman, who was the subject of some summer transfer rumors, is one of Vincent Kompany's key men in a formidable and multi-faceted attack — and he's well on his way to a third Bundesliga season with outstanding production. But it's too early for talks of an extension, according to Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen in comments captured by Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau (via iMiaSanMia).
"We're not currently in [contract] talks," Dreesen noted after the match — a runaway 5-1 winner after Olise's second-half goal restored a Bayern lead that had only just slipped away. "He's under contract until 2029, so there's no reason to rush into anything."
Okay…but maybe there is a little bit of a reason?
Olise is 24, turning 25 this season, and flying just about as high as any footballer in the world today after two explosive, breakout seasons at Bayern Munich and a sensational World Cup with France. His value has skyrocketed beyond the €60M fee that brought him to Germany from Crystal Palace and consequently, so too has he outgrown his initial contract. All the biggest clubs in the world should be after him, and any club that can't fit him in at right wing can probably find a place for him in the center, where he may even prefer playing.

Enzo Maresca hailed Rayan Cherki's "unbelievable" performance in Manchester City's 4-1 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Friday.
City boss Maresca admitted Cherki was frustrated to be left out of the starting line-up for last weekend's 2-1 win against Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.
The France midfielder responded to the snub in emphatic style.
He came off the bench to provide a pair of **** ists against Bournemouth and seized his chance to start at Selhurst Park with a masterful display that underlined his qualities.
The 23-year-old bagged a brace after an own goal from City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had cancelled out Erling Haaland's opener in rainy south London.

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Tuesday he did not support an upcoming event in his city featuring the leader ‌of the Hindu nationalist group that is the ideological parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata ‌Party (BJP).
Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is scheduled to speak at a Manhattan event on Saturday, according to the event's website.
"I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction on cancelling a private event," Mamdani, who is the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of New York City, said when asked if the event should be cancelled.
"The vision of India that I was taught ‌by my family and one that ⁠I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society of a secular Republic that believed in the belonging of each and every person ⁠who was from India. And it has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision."

Healthcare investors often face a difficult decision when choosing between companies with very different paths to growth. Some businesses are emerging from temporary industry slowdowns, while others continue compounding through durable competitive advantages.
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) illustrate that contrast perfectly. Danaher (NYSE:DHR) is beginning to benefit from improving life sciences spending after several challenging years, whereas Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) continues to expand one of the healthcare industry's strongest recurring revenue businesses through robotic surgery. Both companies reported encouraging results, but the question for investors is whether a cyclical recovery or a structural growth story offers the better long-term opportunity.
The strongest argument supporting Danaher is that its recovery appears to be broadening. Its Life Sciences business delivered its strongest performance in several years, and although bioprocessing revenue was affected by customer project timings, the underlying order trends remained strong, with bioprocessing orders growing mid-teens in the quarter. This shows that the underlying demand for bioprocessing remained solid, including consumables and equipment necessary to make biologic drugs.
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) also stated that a little over $100 million of revenue has shifted into next year, primarily from the second and third quarters. This suggests that customer demand has been delayed rather than cancelled, potentially supporting future revenue growth.
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), by contrast, continues to benefit from the strength of a business model that has consistently generated growth regardless of broader industry cycles. Intuitive Surgical's (NASDAQ:ISRG) business model remains one of its biggest competitive advantages. Approximately 85% of total revenue came from recurring sources during the quarter, providing investors with significant revenue visibility as the installed base continues to grow.

Healthcare investors are beginning to see signs of recovery across several parts of the industry, but not every recovery looks the same. Danaher (NYSE:DHR) is benefiting from improving demand in life sciences after a prolonged post-pandemic slowdown, while Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) is finally beginning to show the results of years of investment in new products and operational execution. Both companies reported encouraging results, but very different factors are driving their recoveries. The question for investors is which recovery story offers the greater long-term upside.
The strongest argument supporting Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) is that its turnaround is no longer being driven by cost controls alone. The company's latest results suggest its newer growth platforms are beginning to contribute meaningfully to revenue. The company reported its highest annual revenue growth in 10 years in its fiscal Q4 and full-year 2026 results. Q4 revenue reached $9.8 billion, up 9.9% as reported and 6.6% organic, and FY 26 revenue was $36.4 billion, with adjusted revenue of $36.3 billion, up 8.4% as reported and 5.8% organic. The trends suggest that the company is exhibiting continued operational rigor and building momentum in its highest growth opportunities, including Affera, Symplicity, Hugo, Altaviva, and Stealth AXiS.
Furthermore, Medtronic's (NYSE:MDT) cardiac segment is emerging as one of the most prominent growth drivers for the company, as the Cardiac Ablation Solutions revenue rose 78% globally, including 124% U.S. growth. That is significant for investors because cardiac devices remain one of the company's highest-margin and fastest-growing businesses.
Danaher's story, however, depends much more on improving customer spending across its Life Sciences business, which delivered its strongest performance in several years. Although bioprocessing revenue was affected by customer project timings, the underlying order trends remained strong, with bioprocessing orders growing mid-teens in the quarter. This shows that the underlying demand for bioprocessing remained strong, which includes consumables and equipment necessary to make biologic drugs.
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) also stated that a little over $100 million of revenue has shifted into next year, primarily from the second and third quarters. This suggests that customer demand has been delayed rather than cancelled, potentially supporting future revenue growth.

A new hero established himself in the colours of Real Madrid late on Saturday evening. This came as Los Blancos battled their way to a last-gasp victory away at Espanyol.
Los Blancos got their La Liga campaign up and running a short time ago, making the trip to Catalunya for the first competitive fixture of José Mourinho's new tenure.
As proceedings rolled into injury time, the visitors looked set to be forced to make do with a disappointing share of the spoils, after Jude Bellingham's early opener was cancelled out by Álex Calatrava.
Just when he was needed most, though, a somewhat unexpected hero emerged for a star-studded Real Madrid squad…
After pouncing on a loose ball on the Espanyol penalty area, Carlos Espí, fresh off a summer move from Levante, showed impressive composure to set himself up before slotting home a confident right-footed finish.

A venue has accepted that it discriminated against a Jewish comedian when it cancelled his show at last year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Stand-up comic Philip Simon had been due to perform a solo show called "Shall I Compere Thee In A Funny Way" at the Banshee Labyrinth, on the city's Niddry Street.
However, the venue pulled his act over what it said were his views on the conflict in Gaza.
In a statement given at the time to industry magazine Chortle, the venue said Simon had expressed views on social media and elsewhere that it said "align with the rhetoric and symbology of groups ***** ociated with humanitarian violations."
Responding to the decision on social media, the performer said he had been cancelled "just for being Jewish."

Giannis Konstantelias is set to join Borussia Dortmund from PAOK as he arrived in Germany on Sunday morning ahead of his medical check. However, the move isn't welcomed by his current club fans as they showed their discontent in multiple ways.
Led by a popular ultras group called "Gate 4", the fans protested the departure of the player who signed a deal until 2029 last summer. According to local newspapers, the fans arrived at the office of the club president with a demand for talks, and they also protested in front of the stadium.
Curiously, there were similar incidents after Stuttgart agreed all terms with PAOK for the attacker last year. In the end, the move was cancelled by the club owner Ivan Savvidis as Konstantelias ended up signing a new deal.
There were even reports that PAOK fans waited for him when he landed in Dortmund in hopes of convincing him to stay in Greece. However, that will not change matters for the player who has only left the club for a five-month loan to KAS Eupen so far.
Konstantelias scored three goals for PAOK in this season's Europa League qualifying rounds. Borussia Dortmund already signed his compatriot Konstantinos Karetsas from Genk. After their failed attempt at signing Said El Mala from Köln, the Black and Yellows immediately turned their attention to their second target.

In what could have been a great opening day for IndyCar on the streets of Markham, Ontario turned into bitter disappointment for the huge throng of fans in the grandstands and for IndyCar President Doug Boles.
Instead of racing action, the only wheels turned on the 2.19-mile, 12-turn road course was construction machinery still trying to complete the track build. Without enough key tire packs in place to make for a safe impact area, IndyCar officials cancelled all track activity on Friday and issued a revised schedule for Saturday.
That left Boles furious that the track was not ready in time by the promoter of this weekend's event, and a key, longtime IndyCar ally, Green Savoree Promotions.
"IndyCar is incredibly disappointed that our promoter was not able to complete the track build on time, despite significant support from our team on site," Boles said. "Ontario has always been a magnificent market for our sport and the number of spectators that attended today is a shining example of that. New events can always pose logistical challenges and we join in the frustration of our loyal fans and apologize.

This year's Wolverhampton Half Marathon, due to take place next month, has been cancelled, according to a statement on its website.
Due to the loss and unavailability of "key personnel within the organisation", those behind it said "we are unable to deliver" the event that was scheduled for 6 September.
All entrants would get a full refund, they said, adding they looked forward to returning and welcoming people back on 5 September 2027.
StuWeb Race Timing, which provides event management around the world, said on Facebook it was "with a heavy heart" they have made "the difficult decision" to cancel the half marathon and 10K in the city this year.
This was "not a decision we have taken lightly", they added.

Tottenham Hotspur star Jan Paul van Hecke has revealed his take that the physical approach made use of by La Liga outfit Getafe in the recent meeting between the sides was not at all necessary.
Spurs and Getafe, for those not aware, locked horns in a friendly clash on Saturday, amid ongoing preparations for the fast-approaching campaign ahead.
When all was said and done, the spoils were shared, after Alberto Risco's opener was cancelled out by Conor Gallagher.
As alluded to above, though, in the game's aftermath, it was not the outcome which proved the central talking point amongst those of a Tottenham persuasion.
Instead, widespread chatter surrounded the approach of Getafe, who, at times, tested the limits of the word 'friendly'.

TOKYO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of people in southwestern ***** an were ordered to evacuate ‌and more than 500 flights cancelled on ‌Friday as slow-moving Typhoon Dolphin approached the region to bring violent winds, heavy rain and high waves.
The Category 1 typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 144 kph (89.5 mph) with gusts reaching 198 kph and was nearing a chain of ‌islands between the ⁠Kyushu region and Okinawa prefecture, the ***** an Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.
Authorities issued evacuation orders for ⁠nearly 260,000 residents in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, while Toyota suspended work at nine factories on Friday.
Dolphin was expected to maintain its strength as it approached Okinawa prefecture, raising ‌the risk of winds that could damage or collapse some structures, authorities warned. A linear rain band — or a narrow band of intense precipitation and thunderstorms — could also develop, possibly triggering flooding, the weather agency said.
The ‌large storm was also enveloping much of the southernmost main island of Kyushu with strong winds, including ***** amoto prefecture, still ‌reeling from last week's magnitude 7.1 earthquake.

Heidenheim started their 2. Bundesliga campaign with a 4-3 win over Osnabrück. Frank Schmidt's side led 3-2 at the end of the first-half after Osnabrück cancelled out their first two strikes.
New signing Marcel Costly ******* isted Budu Zivzivadze's opener in the tenth minute. The Georgian striker started the season with the form he had at the closing stage of their Bundesliga campaign as his second goal was nullified for an offside.
The 3. Liga champions then leveled the score from a set-piece opportunity in the midpoint of the first-half. Center-back Niklas Wiemann headed home after Konrad Faber's initial delivery from a corner-kick parried away by Heidenheim's defense.
It was the turn of Osnabrück to fail to clear their lines when Costly restored Heidenheim's lead five minutes later. Another five minutes later, Faber produced his second ******* ist of the game when David Kopacz caught everyone by surprise with a stunning strike from outside the box.
However, the newcomers were behind once again as Jonas Föhrenbach's corner-kick was converted by Jan Schöppner in the injury-time of the first-half. The next goal also came from another corner-kick, but it didn't arrive until the 89th minute.

Michael Johnson has admitted the fallout from Grand Slam Track (GST) was "the most stress" he had faced for a long time and clarified the financial situation after its controversial demise, including an alleged "secret" payment to himself.
The four-time Olympic champion was at the heart of the league, which had its inaugural season in 2025 with meets in Kingston, Jamaica and in the US cities of Miami and Philadelphia.
The inaugural event in Kingston was in front of a barely third-full stadium, while the fourth and final meet scheduled in Los Angeles in June was cancelled and Grand Slam Track filed for bankruptcy in December 2025.

In March 2026, a legal filing by GST's creditors accused Johnson of "secretly" paying himself $500,000 (£370,000) days before the season collapsed, a claim a GST representative said at the time was "unfounded and false".
