Bayern Women Poised for Allianz Arena Record as Frauen-Bundesliga Kicks Off

Prime-time TV coverage signals surging demand, with clubs now seeking more flexible kickoffs in Germany’s women’s game.

Overview

  • FC Bayern will open the 2025/26 season on 6 September at the Allianz Arena before roughly 50,000 fans, a crowd that would surpass the Frauen-Bundesliga record of 38,365 set in 2022.
  • The Bayern–Leverkusen opener airs live on ARD at 17:45 local time, with streaming on sportschau.de and coverage on DAZN and Magenta.
  • Bayern enter as reigning champions after winning the Supercup over Wolfsburg, with Lena Oberdorf making her first competitive minutes for the club following a long layoff.
  • Promoted Union Berlin debuts Sunday at 18:30 against Nürnberg at the Alte Försterei, with about 5,000 tickets sold so far and a target of around 8,000 after drawing over 20,000 for last season’s second-division finale.
  • Union managing director Jennifer Zietz urges greater flexibility in scheduling, criticizing Sunday evening, Saturday noon and Monday slots as poorly suited for families and students.
