While working on the new bayer 04.de website, it was important for us to also take a look at our apps. Do we really need two different ones? Shouldn't the target be to take the best from both and bring them together in a completely new app?
So now there is only one Bayer 04 app. But it has a lot to offer. If you can't make it to the stadium on a matchday the live text commentary will keep you right in touch with how the Werkself are doing. It doesn't matter which app you have on your device: Technical barriers have been overcome thanks to its responsive design. The layout adjusts the device. You experience a consistent visual appearance – whether it's on a smart phone or tablet.
And, of course, we've built in a couple of additional features. For example, the push notification with goal alarm without a time delay. So if you always want to keep up-to-date with Bayer 04 wherever you are then just install our app. We'll keep you in touch.

Bayer 04 remain unbeaten in the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League. After winning the opener against NK Celje, the Werkself followed that up on Thursday night with a 4–0 win away at the Polish champions Lech Poznan. Patrik Schick, who came on as a substitute early in the game, scored twice from the penalty spot, and Malik Tillman also found the back of the net before half-time. The second half was a more subdued affair, with Ibrahim Maza scoring late on to seal the final 4-0 scoreline.

Since 2023, Bayer 04 has been organising regular free goalkeeping coach training sessions at the BayArena. As in previous years, the event attracted enormous interest in mid-October 2026.

Through a theoretical keynote presentation and a practical session on the pitch, the participants gained insights into goalkeeping and goalkeeper training at Bayer 04.
