Bayern Munich will kick off the 2025/26 Bundesliga season with a home match against RB Leipzig on August 22, 2025.
The 2025/26 Bundesliga season is set to kick off with a highly anticipated match between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig on August 22, 2025. As reigning champions, Bayern will host Leipzig at their home stadium.
Bayern regained the German crown last term under Vincent Kompany, but will be without key players Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, and Eric Dier.
They’ve strengthened their squad with new signings like Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof.
Meanwhile, Leipzig had a disappointing season, finishing seventh and missing out on European qualifying. They’ve appointed Ole Werner as their new head coach, who is expected to bring significant improvements to the team.
The two teams have a complex history, with Leipzig becoming one of Bayern’s toughest opponents in recent years. The match promises to be an exciting encounter between two of Germany’s top teams.
The teams have met 18 times in the Bundesliga, with Bayern winning four of the first five matches.
However, Leipzig has since become a formidable opponent, earning a 3-1 victory in Munich in May 2023 and drawing 3-3 last season. Leipzig also spoiled Harry Kane’s Bayern debut with a 3-0 Supercup win in 2023, with Dani Olmo scoring a hat-trick.
