With the 2025/2026 Bundesliga now about to commence, each team will be looking to implement new transfers and managers, all in an effort to overthrow the current champions. Here is everything that is at stake in the coming campaign, as well as the matches that will be sure to have fans on the edge of their seats.

Bayern Munich are set for a title defence after securing their 33rd Bundesliga last season. With Vincent Kompany at the helm, the German titan dominated the competition, finishing 13 points clear. Now bolstered by new arrivals including Jonathan Tah and Liverpool star Luiz Diaz, Bayern are wanting to repeat their success and push for a consecutive title. However, with the departure of big names in the squad such as Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel, will the new arrivals be able to fill their place in the team? Despite this concern, Bayern kicked off with a commanding 6-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the opening game of the season, marking them as clear frontrunners for the title.

Following the departure of Xabi Alonso to Madrid at the end of last season, Bayer Leverkusen have appointed Erik ten Hag to take the managerial role. Alonso brought great success to the club, including a league title, creating fairly large expectations to live up to for the Dutch manager in his debut season with the club. Borussia Dortmund are also hoping to compete with their historic rivals, bringing in new players such as Jobe Bellingham and Yan Couto. Will these new youth signings help rejuvenate the squad?

RB Leipzig faced a crisis after their 0-6 loss to Bayern Munich in their opening game. Whilst new coach, Ole Werner, has failed to make the impression he wanted, will he and his squad bounce back in the fixtures to come?

Adding to the thrill of the coming season is the return of Hamburg SV and 1. FC Koln. Whose presence will be bound to shift the competitive dynamic of the tournament.

One of the key games to look forward to in the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season is Der Klassiker between rivals Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Their first showdown is set for October 18th at the Allianz Arena, with their second encounter scheduled for February 28th. Following the promotion of Hamburger SV, a fierce northern rivalry returns to the top flight. Hamburger vs Werder Bremen will take place at the start of December, with a follow-up match in April. Another significant event to follow is match days 2-5 in which Bayern’s squad will be put to the test against Frankfurt, Dortmund, Mönchengladbach, and Leverkusen whose outcome could very well determine the course of the entire season.

With so much to look forward to, the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season is one you won't want to miss. Purchase your tickets for these high stake games with TicketKosta through our secure online booking system and witness the action live!
