Bayern München vs VfB Stuttgart: Champions Host Ambitious Swabians — Bundesliga — August 28, 2026
Introduction
Bayern München open their Bundesliga title defence at the Allianz Arena against a VfB Stuttgart side that finished fourth last season and pushed them close in the DFB-Pokal final. The hosts sit atop the early table by virtue of alphabetical order, while the visitors occupy fourth — both on zero points after zero matches played. This is the first competitive meeting since Bayern's 3-0 cup final win in May, and the sixth time in eight months these sides have crossed paths. With Bayern missing Jamal Musiala (illness), Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl (both returning from muscle issues), and Stuttgart without a host of first-team options including Chris Führich, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Lorenz Assignon, squad depth will be tested immediately.
