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

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

The record champion will host RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena on Friday evening for the official opening game of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. For the guests, it's a premiere - Leipzig will be playing in a Bundesliga opening game for the first time ever. FC Bayern, on the other hand, brings a lot of experience: they have already played 16 opening games without ever losing.

This game is the second competitive game of the new season for FC Bayern. After the successful Supercup against VfB Stuttgart last Saturday, the Bundesliga season is now underway. The preparation went overall positively - now it's time to take the momentum from the first title into the league opener.

The game will be broadcast live on Sat.1 on free TV 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 game before the release of the complete schedule.

Tight preparation for Bayern - personnel worries for Leipzig

For the Munich team, the game comes after intense weeks. The Club World Cup and Supercup were followed by only a short break - Kompany will likely rely on his proven team. Players like Laimer and Kane, who had to take it easy lately, are also available again.

Leipzig, on the other hand, has to do without several regular players. Henrichs, Gomis, and Maksimovic are out, but offensive players like Diomande, Nusa, and Openda are ready. Especially away from home, Leipzig often struggled in the previous season - with the record champion, they face a particularly high hurdle in the opener.

In the overall balance, Bayern has the upper hand: 11 wins, 8 draws, 3 losses. The last meeting between the two teams ended 3:3.
