A new Bundesliga begins

A new season kicks off in Germany, and the 2025-26 Bundesliga once again promises to be high-voltage: packed stadiums, relentless pace, and a handful of contenders looking to dethrone the perennial giant. With new signings, emerging stars, and fresh ideas from the dugout, the season opener poses the classic question: who is best positioned to lift the trophy?

Bayern, the clear favorite

Once again, Bayern Munich enters as the overwhelming favorite for the title in Germany. With 68% odds, the Bavarians continue to dominate the scene and boast Harry Kane as their main attacking weapon. The English striker adapted instantly to the Bundesliga and leads a squad that isn’t satisfied with domestic dominance —they are also aiming for Champions League glory. Squad depth and historic pedigree make Bayern, as always, the team to beat.

Leverkusen and Dortmund, the challengers

Second on the list is Bayer Leverkusen, with an 11% chance of winning the title. The “Werkself” have delivered solid Bundesliga campaigns and are determined to finally break Bayern’s stranglehold. Their main challenge will be maintaining consistency and avoiding costly slip-ups in decisive matches.

Close behind is Borussia Dortmund at 8%, still haunted by past seasons where the title slipped from their grasp. With a young and talented squad, the Yellow Wall’s challenge is proving they can keep pace until the very end. While the odds are slimmer, their competitive DNA always makes them a dangerous contender.

Leipzig and Eintracht, the possible surprises

A step lower sits RB Leipzig with 5% odds, staying true to their formula of nurturing young talent and pressing hard to cement themselves as true title contenders.

At the bottom of the list, Eintracht Frankfurt carry just 2% odds, but their ambitions remain alive. Consistency will be key if they are to surprise everyone and sneak into the title race.

A championship with a clear favorite

All signs point to Bayern Munich once again being the main protagonist of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. Yet dethroning them won’t be easy: Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig, and Eintracht all cling to the hope of landing the knockout blow that changes history in Germany.
