The defending champions have made a winning start to the season.
Bayern Munich will travel to the VELTINS-Arena to take on Schalke 04 in a Matchday 2 fixture of the German Bundesliga 2026-27 on Saturday, September 5, 2026. The two sides had contrasting fortunes in the opening gameweek and will look for a positive result tonight.
After beating Borussia Dortmund to lift the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, Bayern Munich opened their league campaign with a solid 5-1 home win over VfB Stuttgart. Dayot Upamecano, Michael Olise, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Luis Diaz found the back of the net for Die Roten.
Vincent Kompany will hope that his side can maintain that form tonight, and the visitors will be heavy favourites against Schalke. Die Königsblauen opened their campaign with a 3-0 loss to Augsburg. Miron Muslic’s men will face a tough test against the defending champions.
