Will FC Bayern claim its first title of the new season? At the 2026 Telekom Cup, the German record champions face RB Leipzig today.

Following their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, FC Bayern’s next preseason match is on the horizon. The Munich side will host last year’s third-place Bundesliga team, RB Leipzig. Following the preseason match against Europa League champion Aston Villa during their Asian tour, this will be the second real test for coach Vincent Kompany’s team during preseason.

+++ Friendly Match Turns into a Million-Dollar Game +++

The match against Leipzig is no ordinary game; it also serves as the “transfer fee match” for Julian Nagelsmann. The former German national team coach moved from Saxony to Munich in the summer of 2021. Five years later, the contractually agreed-upon match is finally taking place.

According to information from BILD, RB will earn up to three million euros from the friendly.

FC Bayern can once again count on Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Dayot Upamecano. The trio returned to Säbener Straße yesterday, Friday, following their extended World Cup break.

With the return of Kane, Olise, and Upamecano, head coach Vincent Kompany now has his full squad at his disposal. Following the team’s trip to Asia, new signing Ismael Saibari, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, and Lennart Karl had already rejoined team training.

However, the trio will not feature in Saturday’s Telekom Cup match against RB Leipzig. It remains to be seen whether Kane, Olise, and Upamecano will get their first minutes of playing time this season as early as Tuesday in the friendly against second-division side 1. FC Heidenheim.
