After what seemed like an eternity, the 2026/27 is officially here! Bayern Munich had an eventful summer and preseason, and all that preparation will now be put to the test against Borussia Dortmund in the 10th Supercup meeting between the two sides in the competition’s history.

Vincent Kompany and his men were hard at work over the last couple months or so and added signings in the form of Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt and Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven. Chances are we’ll see those two on the pitch today and by then they will get their first proper outing in the new season
