Freiburg vs. Bayern: Bundesliga Matchday 7 Kickoff and Team News

Sport-Club Freiburg and FC Bayern München are scheduled to meet on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Europa-Park Stadion. The Bundesliga’s official fixture schedule lists the Matchday 7 kickoff for 5:30 p.m. in Freiburg, Germany, on Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00), which is 16:30 UTC. The league’s match center confirms the date and venue. This update was checked before kickoff; use the live match center for any late changes.

Freiburg vs. Bayern match details

The official Bundesliga fixture schedule lists Freiburg at home against Bayern on Matchday 7 and provides both the local kickoff time and its UTC equivalent. The league’s Freiburg-Bayern match center identifies Europa-Park Stadion and carries live coverage, team lineups, and match statistics.

Kickoff time in Freiburg and the clock change

For this fixture, the reliable time conversion is 5:30 p.m. CET in Freiburg to 16:30 UTC. Germany returns from daylight saving time overnight from Saturday, October 24, to Sunday, October 25. The German federal government’s October 2026 notice says clocks go back one hour, from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. By kickoff on Sunday evening, Freiburg is on standard time, CET (UTC+01:00).

The match is not scheduled during the repeated hour. If you are saving it in a calendar, enter 16:30 UTC or select the Freiburg time zone and confirm the displayed start is 5:30 p.m. CET. A listing that says only “5:30 p.m.” without naming the time zone can be confusing around the seasonal clock change, especially for viewers following from another country.

Where to watch and follow the match

For viewers in Germany, SC Freiburg’s official viewing information lists DAZN for the Sunday Bundesliga game. The club’s match preview also points supporters to its Matchcenter ticker and the “Sportclub live” audio report. FC Bayern offers live text coverage and free web-radio commentary through its website and app.

Broadcast rights vary by country. The German DAZN listing does not confirm where the game is available elsewhere, or whether a service in another market offers live video, a replay, or highlights. If you are outside Germany, use the Bundesliga’s official broadcaster directory to select your country or region, then check that provider’s current schedule for this specific fixture.

Latest team news and availability

FC Bayern’s October 24 pre-match update confirmed that Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz, Minjae Kim, and Manuel Neuer would not be available for the trip to Freiburg. The club said Musiala was still recovering from a muscle tear; Díaz had sustained a minor muscle-fiber tear against Arsenal; Kim had come off after taking a knock in that match; and Neuer was dealing with persistent tendonitis in his foot. Bayern also said Joshua Kimmich remained on compassionate leave. These are the club’s published statuses ahead of the match, and no return dates should be inferred from them.

Bayern also confirmed that head coach Vincent Kompany would not be involved while under medical care. Assistant coach Aaron Danks said the coaching staff would handle football operations. Bayern’s announcement did not provide a return date, so the match update should not speculate about when Kompany will be back.

For Freiburg, the club’s October 23 preview said midfielder Yannik Engelhardt might be unavailable after being substituted early in the midweek match at Monaco. Freiburg did not confirm in that preview that he was ruled out. Treat his status as uncertain until the club or the official match center publishes the confirmed lineup. The league match center is the place to check for the starting elevens and any late availability change.

Pre-match context

FC Bayern’s preview published on October 24 listed Bayern first in the table with 14 points after six matchdays, followed by Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg, and Bayer Leverkusen on 13 points. That is a pre-match snapshot, rather than a live table. The club’s match preview also noted Bayern’s uneven away results to that point: a win at Elversberg and draws at Schalke and Augsburg.

Freiburg came into the weekend after a 2-1 Bundesliga loss at Bayer Leverkusen and a 3-0 Conference League defeat away to AS Monaco. Bayern’s most recent league outing was a 6-1 win over RB Leipzig; in midweek, the team drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the Champions League after moving ahead late in the match. These recent results add context to the fixture, but they do not determine how either club will perform in Freiburg.

Home form was a notable part of Freiburg’s build-up. The club’s preview said the team had won all five of its competitive home matches in the 2026/27 season and had gone nearly six months without a home defeat before the Bayern game. The preview also noted that Bayern had ended that run in April with a stoppage-time goal at Europa-Park Stadion. Those records describe the teams’ form entering Matchday 7; they are not a prediction of the result.

Recent Freiburg-Bayern meetings

The previous season’s two meetings produced similar swings. According to SC Freiburg’s official preview, Freiburg built a 2-0 lead in both matches, but Bayern came back to win 6-2 in Munich and 3-2 in Freiburg. In the April match at Europa-Park Stadion, Lennart Karl scored the winner in the ninth minute of stoppage time. The sequence is relevant background for supporters, while the current fixture remains a separate contest with its own lineups and match conditions.

What to check before kickoff

Confirm the listing as Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00) in Freiburg, or 16:30 UTC. Viewers in Germany can check DAZN’s program guide; supporters elsewhere should verify local rights through the Bundesliga broadcaster directory. Then follow the official match center for the confirmed starting lineups, live updates, and statistics. Team availability can change close to kickoff, and Freiburg had not settled Engelhardt’s status in its published preview when this guide was checked.
