Get ready, football fans! Bayern Munich's lineup of opponents for the thrilling 2025/26 Champions League season has just been announced, and it promises to deliver some high-octane clashes!

A Star-Studded Group Stage Ahead!

As the reigning giants from Pot 1, Bayern Munich will host English powerhouse Chelsea at their iconic Allianz Arena. This is a rematch of sorts, as the Bavarians previously showcased their dominance by thrashing the Blues 7-1 on aggregate back in the 2019/20 season, during their own treble-winning journey. But that’s not all – the team will also face off against treble winners Paris Saint-Germain, whom they edged out 1-0 in last season's league phase.

Historic Encounters from Pot 2!

In Pot 2, Bayern has a fascinating mix of rivals. They'll take on Belgian champions Club Brugge at home – a club they haven’t faced since the 2005/06 group stage, where they narrowly won 1-0 at home and drew 1-1 away. But hold onto your seats, as they’ll also visit Arsenal, a team they clashed with in the quarterfinals just two seasons ago, with Bayern securing a tight aggregate victory.

Exciting Challenges from Pot 3!

Moving on to Pot 3, Bayern welcomes Sporting CP to Munich. It's a blast from the past as they last annihilated the Portuguese side 12-1 on aggregate back in 2008/09, marking the debut of Thomas Müller’s career goal. Meanwhile, they'll trek to Eindhoven to face PSV, a team they defeated back in the 2016/17 group stages with confident victories.

New Blood from Pot 4!

But perhaps the most intriguing matches are on the horizon with Pot 4! Bayern is set to clash with Union Saint-Gilloise and Pafos, two clubs making their Champions League debuts. Both teams are reigning league champions and will bring fresh challenges to the veterans of Bayern. They’ll host Union Saint-Gilloise first before heading to Cyprus to face Pafos.

Buckle up, because Bayern Munich's path through the Champions League is going to be a rollercoaster of excitement!
