There is no rest at FC Bayern this season. After the Christmas holidays, the stars will continue their work straight away. The winter timetable.

Munich – I’ve just eaten the Christmas goose and emptied the last raclette pan – and here we go again!

The FC Bayern stars can enjoy the holidays a little between the years before things start again right at the start of the year. Coach Vincent Kompany asks his team January 2, 2025 back to Säbener Straße. He revealed this on the last PK of the year before the Leipzig game (5:1).

This is how FC Bayern started in 2025

What is certain is that the record champions will not be flying into the sun this year. Last season under Thomas Tuchel there was a lightning training camp in mid-January in Portugal after the opener against TSG Hoffenheim, but in 2025 FC Bayern completed winter preparation on home soil.

What exactly the whole thing will look like is not yet clear. Whether training only takes place on Säbener Straße? A lot points to that.

Because am January 6thOn the Epiphany holiday, Bayern wanted to play a double test. In the morning I stand around 11.30am a friendly match against second division teams Greuther Fürth a. This should have taken place at the FC Bayern campus in the north of Munich.

FC Bayern in 2025: start of training, test matches and training camp in January

However, this game was recently canceled. The reason is the many injuries at FC Bayern. Therefore takes place on the same day 6 p.m just a test match with the Austrian former champions and Champions League participants RB Salzburg instead of.

Five days after the only tough test, Munich is back in the Bundesliga. On January 11th, FC Bayern have to play the 70s classic at Borussia Mönchengladbach at 6:30 p.m.

Then it happens in quick succession! The first half of the season will officially end on January 15th with the home game against TSG Hoffenheim in the so-called “English Week”, before we return to the arena three days later against VfL Wolfsburg (18th).

FC Bayern are challenged at the start of the year: three games in one week – the Club World Cup in the summer

There are definitely more relaxed ways to start the year. The stars of FC Bayern will also be challenged directly in 2025. Therefore, the motto from December 21st is: pure relaxation!

Because there is really no prospect of recovery for the summer either. The Bundesliga ends with the 34th matchday on May 17th. The DFB Cup final will take place a week later in Berlin (May 24th) and the Champions League final will take place on May 31st – in Munich, after all.

The national players may then face the final tournament in the Nations League. The Club World Cup starts in the USA in mid-June. (smk,hlr)
