A week after the Supercup clash against VfL Wolfsburg in Karlsruhe on 30 August, the Munich girls will open the new Bundesliga campaign at the Allianz Arena (tickets). The German champions’ opening match against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, which is also the first home game for new head coach José Barcala, on Saturday 6 September (17:45 CEST) was already confirmed.

Arch-rivals Wolfsburg are the opponents again on Matchday 6, with the first league meeting between the two taking place in Lower Saxony between 10 and 13 October. The Bavaria derby against promoted side Nürnberg will be held on Matchday 9 (4-6 November), while the away match against last season’s third-placed team, Eintracht Frankfurt, is scheduled between 5 and 8 December. FCB Women’s final Bundesliga outing of the year is the reverse fixture at Leverkusen on 19 to 22 December. Barcala’s side will then begin 2026 at home to RB Leipzig (23-26 January 2026).
Season finale in Hamburg
Following the final home game against Frankfurt on Matchday 25 (8-11 May), Bayern will end the season away to Hamburger SV on Sunday 17 May.
