This clash is the final friendly fixture for Die Roten.
Heidenheim are scheduled to face Bayern Munich in a pre-season friendly fixture at the Voith-Arena in Heidenheim on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. This match will be the final preparatory clash for Bayern. They will take on Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup final on Saturday.
Heidenheim had a disastrous campaign last season, finishing 17th and being relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. Long-term head coach Frank Schmidt has remained at the helm and led them to a 4-3 win over VfL Osnabrück in their 2026-27 league opener. However, they suffered a 4-1 loss to Hertha Berlin in their last outing.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have secured three successive pre-season wins, beating Aston Villa 2-1 in their last match. Die Roten have been boosted by the return of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Dayot Upamecano to training after their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaigns.
