The time has finally come again on 23 August, when the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season officially kicks off at Borussia-Park at 8:30 pm. Fans of FC Bayern Munich will be looking in vain for the German record champions to be involved, as this time the 2023/2024 champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen will open the new season – their opponents: local rivals Borussia Gladbach!
Gladbach vs Leverkusen – a different kind of season opener
Bundesliga football fans had to wait a long time for this: FC Bayern Munich failed to lift the coveted championship trophy in the 2023/2024 season and even lost the imaginary title of runners-up to VfB Stuttgart. Munich’s completely title-less season therefore gives us football fans an entirely new opening match, which is particularly explosive due to the local proximity of the two opponents.
The two teams from Gladbach and Leverkusen will meet on 23 August to kick off the 2024/2025 season. The Werkself team has had a sensational season with a championship and DFB Cup win, although the defeat in the Europa League left a small dent in an otherwise perfect season.
On 17 August, Leverkusen has the chance to win their first title of the season in the Supercup against Stuttgart. But even if this game is first on the calendar, today we would like to show you how you can buy tickets for the hotly anticipated clash between Gladbach and Leverkusen. And Leverkusen fans know that this will be the starting signal for the title defence mission.
