Overview
- Bayern Munich open their 2026–27 UEFA Champions League group campaign at the Allianz Arena on Thursday, September 10, with kickoff set for the scheduled evening slot.
- Head coach Vincent Kompany has cleared Jamal Musiala to start after a managed comeback from a preseason neurological absence-seizure condition and a substitute appearance against Schalke.
- FK Bodø/Glimt travel to Munich missing key players, with Håkon Evjen and Magnus Bech Riisnæs ruled out with knee problems and defenders Jostein Gundersen and Haitam Aleesami sidelined or doubtful, forcing makeshift defensive selections.
- Bayern arrive unbeaten after lifting the DFL-Supercup and several dominant domestic wins, though they were held 0–0 at Schalke in their most recent game.
- The fixture is the clubs’ first competitive meeting, broadcast across major markets including TNT Sports and Paramount+, and it pairs Bayern’s deep Champions League home record with Bodø/Glimt’s momentum from last season’s run to the last 16 and recent qualifying wins.
