The German Football Association (DFB) has published the fixture list for the 2024/25 season in the Google Pixel Women's Bundesliga.

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.
