The road to Bundesliga glory is officially on, Bayern Munich 2026/27 season is taking shape after the release of the opening four fixtures.
Do you think Bayern Munich will collect all 12 points in the first four fixtures?
Bayern Munich’s opening schedule for the 2026/27 Bundesliga season has been revealed, giving fans an early look at the challenges awaiting the German champions.
Bayern will face a balanced mix of home and away fixtures across the first four matchdays, with several intriguing tests that could shape the club’s early momentum.
Friday 28th August 2026: VfB Stuttgart
The campaign begins on Friday 28th August, when Bayern host VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Scheduled for 8:30 PM CEST, the season opener pits Bayern against one of Germany’s strongest sides from recent years. Opening at home provides Bayern with an opportunity to make an immediate statement in front of the fans.
Saturday 5th September 2026: Schalke 04
Just over a week later, Bayern travel to face Schalke 04 on Saturday 5th September, with kickoff set for 6:30 PM CEST. Although Schalke’s fortunes have fluctuated in recent seasons, away trips to Gelsenkirchen have traditionally been competitive, making this an important early-season challenge.
Sunday 13th September 2026: SV Elversberg
The third fixture sees Bayern on the road once again as they take on SV Elversberg on Sunday 13th September, at 5:30 PM CEST. Elversberg’s rise through German football has been one of the league’s compelling stories, and facing Bayern will undoubtedly be a landmark occasion for the club. While Bayern will enter the match as favourites, they will be wary of underestimating newly established Bundesliga opposition.

Bayern then return to the Allianz Arena on Friday, 18 September, where they welcome Union Berlin for another evening kickoff at 8:30 PM CEST. Union have earned a reputation for disciplined, organised football and have proven capable of troubling the Bundesliga’s biggest clubs. This fixture could provide one of Bayern’s toughest tests in the opening month of the campaign.
Promising Month of Fixtures
Overall, Bayern’s first four league matches offer a promising blend of established rivals and emerging competition. With two home fixtures and two away games, the schedule presents a fair opportunity for Vincent Kompany’s side to build rhythm early in the season while navigating different tactical challenges.
A positive opening month could lay the foundation for another title challenge, while the mix of opponents ensures there will be little room for complacency from the very first whistle.
