As was the case last season, the Werkself’s first home game of the campaign comes against Leipzig. That is followed this year by an international break. Things then resume with Matchday 3’s game away at Hoffenheim (13-15 September).
The first meeting with Bayern Munich comes on Matchday 5 at the Allianz Arena (27-29 September). That is followed by back-to-back home fixtures against newcomers Holstein Kiel and then Eintracht Frankfurt.
Matchday 9 sees last season’s runners-up VfB Stuttgart come to the BayArena (1-3 November). The other promoted side St. Pauli visit on Matchday 13 (6-8 December).
The final Bundesliga game of 2024 sees Freiburg come to the BayArena (20-22 December). After a two-and-a-half-week winter break, action resumes on the weekend of 10-12 January 2025 with a visit to Borussia Dortmund for Matchday 16.
We reach the halfway stage of the season with a home game against Mainz on Matchday 17 (14/15 January). The list then begins to repeat itself with a home fixture against Gladbach (17-19 January).
