Three home kick-offs confirmed
Further record: Allianz Arena — Bundesliga home dates through January 2027
The Bundesliga’s scheduling announcement for matchdays 12–18 confirms three Bayern league games at the Allianz Arena. Paderborn, Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen will all visit for 20:30 local-time kick-offs.
These are selected confirmed league fixtures, not Bayern’s entire winter programme. They provide fixed points around which supporters can check the remaining domestic and European commitments.
Two Friday nights in December

Matchday 12 against Paderborn is on Friday, December 4, 2026; matchday 14 against Bremen follows on Friday, December 18.
The two-week gap between these home dates is not a two-week break. Matchday 13 sits between them, so following the whole month requires the complete schedule as well as this home-fixture announcement.
Leverkusen bring a midweek January date

Matchday 16 against Leverkusen takes place on Wednesday, January 13, 2027 at 20:30 CET, local time in Germany. Unlike the December pair, this is a midweek evening fixture.
The sporting question is how smoothly Bayern reconnect their play across the winter period. Watch the start and the quality maintained after substitutions; line-ups and player availability belong to the eventual match preview.
The same hour, a different rhythm
Further record: FC Bayern — match schedule
All three games kick off at 20:30 local time in Germany, which uses CET in winter. Two December Fridays and a January midweek evening give the schedule different rhythms across the new year.
Two Fridays and a Wednesday give the winter calendar a clear rhythm. Save the dates now, then assess the football closer to kick-off as each opponent arrives with its own form and demands.
