Bayern vs Stuttgart: Where to Watch, Live Stream, TV Channel & Start Time

Bayern start their Bundesliga title defense against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena on Friday, with a lot of hopes on Vincent Kompany's shoulders once again as a new season poses new challenges.

The Bavarians finished the 2025/26 season 16 points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, and collected their highest points tally in the last 12 years (89). Their attack, comprising Luis Diaz, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise, proved to be too lethal, as they bagged a total of 122 goals, bettering their previous record of 101.

However, their defensive record could make Kompany think a bit, as they conceded 36 goals in 34 games, two more than their rivals Dortmund. Bayern Munich have started their new season on a bright note, winning 2-1 against Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup final, which places them with just one defeat from their last 26 games.

They won 18 of those fixtures and have netted more than three goals on 17 of those occasions, and have managed to keep a clean sheet just seven times. A win in this game would mean that this would be Bayern's 10th win out of the last 12 games, as well as their 12th match unbeaten at the Allianz Arena.

Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart finished fourth last season and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2009/10 season. Sebastian Hoeness has done a commendable job for the team, especially in the attack department, as they scored 71 times in the league, only behind Bayern.

The head-to-head record between Bayern and Stuttgart is not that impressive, as Die Roten have lost each of their last six meetings with the Bavarians, including a 3-0 defeat in the DFB-Pokal final in May. Stuttgart are coming off a 4-0 win over Hansa Rostock in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, and it was the first time in eight games that they have kept a clean sheet.
