Bayern Women Host Arsenal at Allianz Arena With Disney+ Broadcasting the Champions League Tie

Low advance sales heighten scrutiny of Bayern’s stadium plan alongside a restrained budget for the women’s team.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 18:45 CET on Wednesday, with Disney+ carrying the match live after taking exclusive rights to all 75 Women’s Champions League games this season, and DAZN no longer showing the competition.
  • Bayern recently reported roughly 10,000 tickets sold for the 75,000‑seat Allianz Arena, a level that local reports say would not cover operating costs.
  • Club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said the women’s team generates about €4 million and indicated he does not intend to increase investment, prompting criticism from some members and outlets.
  • The club is pursuing the purchase of Sportpark Unterhaching as a mid-sized permanent venue, as the 2,500‑seat Campus is too small and the Allianz Arena is often oversized for regular fixtures.
  • Bayern enter as Bundesliga leaders seeking stronger European results after a 1–7 loss to Barcelona, facing reigning champions Arsenal who draw near 29,000 on average at the Emirates.
