Bayern Munich bid for a three-peat as they look to see off the challengers and be crowned Bundesliga champions once again this season.

Vincent Kompany's side stormed to victory last season with Harry Kane winning the top goalscorer award for the third year in a row.

Usual suspects Borussia Dortmund will attempt to wrestle the trophy back from Bayern, while 2023/2024 champions Bayer Leverkusen will hope for a better season than last term's seventh-placed finish.

At the other end of the table, all eyes will be on newly promoted Elversberg, who with a population of about 13,000 people become one of the smallest clubs ever to play in the Bundesliga after securing promotion.

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details for the season and how to follow the matches.
