Germany’s most premier football competition, Bundesliga, will take center stage once again for its 63rd edition, bringing full-fledged drama, rivalries, and entertaining football for football fans.
With the new season underway, the entertainment and drama are set to get heated this year with the return of two iconic teams—keeping fans on the edge of their seats with some bittersweet traditional rivalries.
Bayern Munich asserted their dominance with some iconic performances last season, clinching their record 33rd Bundesliga title.
Eighteen teams are confirmed to be the participants for this season of Bundesliga, also marking the addition of two fresh teams, FC Koln and Hamburger SV. While Hamburger will be returning to Germany's top-tier football after a seven-year absence, FC Koln will return after a one-year gap. They replaced Holstein Kiel and VfL Bochum in the league.
Top clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, and Stuttgart, have strengthened their squads and will be aiming to bring fresh tactical approaches to pose a threat to Bayern Munich’s crown this season.
