How to watch Bayern v Leipzig live on TV and stream? | OneFootball

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

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

The match is the second competitive game of the new season for FC Bayern. After the successful Supercup against VfB Stuttgart last Saturday, it's now also starting in the Bundesliga. The preparation went overall positive - now it's about taking the momentum from the first title into the league opener.

The game will be shown live on Sat.1 in free TV and on Sky in 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 publication of the complete schedule.

Tight preparation for Bayern - personnel worries for Leipzig

For the Munich team, the game comes after intense weeks. Following the Club World Cup and Supercup, there was only a short break - Kompany will likely rely on his proven eleven. Players like Laimer and Kane, who recently had to take a break, 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. Especially away from home, Leipzig often struggled in the preseason - with the record champion, they face a particularly high hurdle at the start.

In the overall balance, Bayern has the edge: eleven wins, eight draws, three defeats. The last encounter between the two teams ended 3:3.
