The 2024/25 Bundesliga season will kick off on August 23rd and conclude on May 17th, 2025.
Bayer Leverkusen created history in the previous season as remained undefeated in all the 34 matches. Nicknamed 'Neverkusen' for their lack of silverware, Xabi Alonso's team soared over their competition to win the German League for the very first time.
Rivals Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will be hoping to wrestle away the title. England captain Harry Kane will be eager to put in some match-winning performances for Bayern.
