2024/25 Bundesliga fixtures: Bayer 04 to host RB Leipzig in first home game

The Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) has released the fixtures list for the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. One week after opening the campaign away at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer 04 welcome RB Leipzig to the BayArena for their first home game. The defending champions will finish the season away at Mainz on Saturday, 17 May 2025.

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).

Finish year at BayArena

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).

Information on tickets for each game will follow in due course.

Werkself move up to fourth place after 4-1 win against RB Leipzig

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
