Watch Bayern v Leipzig live on TV and stream – even for free! | OneFootball

FC Bayern kicks off the new season with a home game. The opponent is RB Leipzig - and the game is not only broadcasted on Sky, but also on free-to-air television.

For the official opening match of the Bundesliga 2025/26, the record champions welcome RB Leipzig to the Allianz Arena on Friday evening. For the guests, it's a premiere - Leipzig is in a Bundesliga kick-off game for the first time ever. FC Bayern, on the other hand, brings plenty of experience: they have been on the field 16 times at the start of the season, without ever losing.

The match is the second official game of the new season for FC Bayern. After the successful Supercup against VfB Stuttgart last Saturday, the Bundesliga is now also getting underway. The preparation overall went positively - now it's about carrying the momentum from the first title into the league start.

The game will be shown live on Sat.1 on free-to-air television and on Sky on pay-TV. Streams are available on ran.de, Joyn, WOW and Sky Go. The German Football League had already announced the duel as the opening match before the release of the complete schedule.

Tight preparation for Bayern - Personnel worries for Leipzig

The game comes after intense weeks for the Munich team. Following the Club World Cup and Supercup, there was only a short break - Kompany is still likely to rely on his trusted eleven. Players like Laimer and Kane, who had to take it a bit easier recently, are also available again.

Leipzig, on the other hand, has to do without several regular players. Henrichs, Gomis and Maksimovic are out, but offensive forces like Diomande, Nusa and Openda are ready. Leipzig often struggled away from home last season - and the record champions are a particularly high hurdle to start with.

In the overall balance, Bayern is ahead: eleven wins, eight draws, three losses. The last encounter between the two teams ended 3:3.
