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.
Lying third in the Bundesliga, the Werkself made a faltering start in 2026 after the winter break, but gradually rediscovered winning ways and, as in the previous campaign, were among the top 16 in Europe and the top four in the DFB Pokal. In the Bundesliga, the Werkself also remained in the race for Champions League qualification right to the end. However, because setbacks repeatedly crept into the Werkself's performances between good displays and crucial games, it was not quite enough to secure a UCL spot in the end. A season with many ups and downs brought sixth place and qualification for the UEFA Europa League. Part II of the review of the 2025/26 season.

Following the final match of the 2025/26 season, the prevailing feeling was naturally one of disappointment after missing out on qualification for the Champions League. The Werkself finished the Bundesliga in sixth place, meaning they'll start the 2026/27 campaign in the Europa League. "But to talk negatively about everything now because of that would be wrong," stressed captain Robert Andrich following the final game, knowing that the past year at Bayer 04 was marked, more than almost any other, by the start of a new era and the courage to change – and in particular, the belief in a positive direction. Everyone was aware this process would need time. The first part of the 2025/26 season review.
