The opening match of the season is between newly promoted FFC Turbine Potsdam and the champions of Germany Bayern Munich on Friday 30 August (kick-off: 17.00 CEST). The timing of games in the first few matchdays will probably be announced by the DFB at the end of July.

Winter break after matchday 12

The Hinrunde derby at FC Köln on matchday eight will be played between 1 and 4 November and the Bayer 04 Women will entertain the team from Cologne in the Rückrunde between 11 and 14 April 2025. The opening game of the Rückrunde on matchday 12 will be followed by a six-week winter break that ends on 31 January 2025. As usual, all six games on the final matchday (22) on 11 May 2025 will kick off at the same time.

Bayer 04 will announce information on the start of ticket sales for home games at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium in good time on the club media channels.

Werkself slip to sixth after 3-1 defeat in Stuttgart showdown

Down to fifth from fourth place despite taking an early lead: in the head-to-head for a Champions League spot, Bayer 04 were 1-0 up at VfB Stuttgart with just a minute played thanks to an Aleix Garcia strike, but ultimately lost 3-1 (2-1) to the more determined hosts.

Matchday news #VfBB04: Taking the next big step with the full weight of our fans behind us

Today sees Bayer 04 go head-to-head with their next direct rivals in the race for Champions League qualification (kick-off 15:30 CEST). Opponents Stuttgart are currently fifth in the table, level on points with the Werkself but one place below them due to a three-goal inferior goal difference. The Black and Reds' record at Bad Cannstatt tells a clearer story: they've not lost at VfB for over 16 years. One important factor in securing what would be three crucial points away from home is Leverkusen's strength on the counter-attack. Whilst Stuttgart are also extremely dangerous going forward, they will be without their captain. Today’s matchday news.
