Bayern Munich to host RB Leipzig in Allianz Arena pre-season friendly
Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, will host Martín Demichelis’ RB Leipzig in a pre-season friendly at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday, August 15 as part of the Telekom Cup 2026.
The German champions are preparing for their fifth pre-season game of the current campaign; after losing their opening club friendly they went on to secure consecutive wins in their last three games. Bayern Munich, with better squad quality, will be looking to control the match from the beginning and will enjoy home advantage at the Allianz Arena.
Die Roten Bullen have not performed up to the mark in their ongoing pre-season campaign, winning one match while suffering defeats in two games. RB Leipzig’s last few games against the Bavarians have not ended in their favour. They haven’t faced a defeat in their last seven games against Bayern.
Vincent Kompany will bring his squad to Munich aiming to impose their game plan early, while Martín Demichelis travels with an RB Leipzig side still seeking consistency in pre-season results. The match is scheduled within the clubs’ broader preparations ahead of the competitive season.
