Freiburg vs Bayern Munich will kick off on 25 Oct 2026 at 11:30 EST and 15:30 GMT.
Bayern face first proper Bundesliga test
Two defeats on the bounce have taken the early shine off Freiburg's season somewhat, but they'll still represent a significant test for visiting leaders Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Freiburg fall off the top
A defeat to Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the Bundesliga meant Freiburg was knocked off their perch at the summit of the table, and they followed that with a Europa Conference League defeat to Monaco in midweek. Julian Schuster's side haven't kept a clean sheet since 12 September, but will fancy their chances of breaching a Bayern defence without a shutout in four outings.

Ballon d'Or frontrunner Harry Kane has been up to his usual tricks for Bayern, scoring and assisting against Arsenal in a 2-2 midweek Champions League clash. That was his 16th career goal against the Gunners. Bayern beat Leipzig 6-1 last time out in the Bundesliga, although, strangely, it was their only win in four outings across all competitions. Luis Diaz netted a hat-trick in that game and was later substituted, came on as a sub against Arsenal and then also got substituted late in that game. Naturally, he's a huge doubt for this one.
