Bayer Leverkusen host FC Bayern in the DFB Cup semi-final: The match will be shown on free-to-air TV – here you can find all the information on TV and streaming

Wednesday evening sees a top-of-the-table clash in the DFB Cup: Bayer Leverkusen and FC Bayern will meet in the semi-final. The match will take place on April 22, 2026 in the BayArena, kick-off at 8.45 pm

The starting position is explosive: both teams have their sights set on reaching the final, which will be played on 23 May at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. While FC Bayern will have their sights set directly on the next title after winning the German championship, Leverkusen will want to make the most of their last chance to win a trophy this season

Munich have a clear goal: after several years without success in the DFB Cup, they want to finally win the title again. Bayern last won the competition in 2020. Since then, they have failed surprisingly early on several occasions

Leverkusen, on the other hand, have had a mixed season. The Werkself have fallen short of their own expectations in the Bundesliga and have already been knocked out internationally. This makes the cup all the more important – a title could still save the season

The last clash between the two teams was not so long ago, when FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 in mid-March
