Bundesliga 2025/26 Title Race: Is Bayern Munich’s Reign in Jeopardy?

The new Bundesliga season opens with a rare sense of uncertainty. Can anyone stop Bayern Munich after sweeping another title, or will rivals like Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and RB Leipzig finally break through?

• Bayern Munich: Enter a transition year after losing Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané, and Kingsley Coman. New arrivals Luis Díaz and Jonathan Tah join Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala to keep their dominance intact.
• Borussia Dortmund: Buoyed by youthful firepower in Youssoufa Moukoko and a refreshed attack, Dortmund fans hope consistency will finally deliver the title.
• Bayer Leverkusen: With a dynamic pressing style and a hungry, largely intact squad, Leverkusen aim to sustain their title challenge after near-misses in recent years.
• RB Leipzig: Despite losing Benjamin Sesko, Leipzig lean on youth integration and bold tactics to stay in the race. Clubs like Stuttgart and HSV lurk as wildcards capable of upsetting the balance.

Outlook: Early Bayern clashes with Dortmund and Leverkusen could define the season’s tone. With tactical innovation and roster shifts across the league, the 2025/26 Bundesliga has the makings of its most unpredictable title race in years.
