Der Klassiker
Matchday 12, 29 November – 1 December 2024 (Dortmund)
Matchday 29, 11-13 April 2025 (Munich)
No matter where Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund sit in the standings, Der Klassiker is the biggest fixture on the German football calendar, between Germany’s two largest and best-supported clubs.
Bayern’s Harry Kane made his mark on the fixture with a hat-trick in Dortmund last season, but BVB took their sweet revenge in Munich, recording their first Klassiker win since 10 November 2018.
Steered by former players turned new Bundesliga coaches Vincent Kompany and Nuri Şahin respectively, Bayern and Dortmund will do it all again at Signal Iduna Park on Matchday 12 of the new campaign, before locking horns in Munich at the business end of the season. Will it, like so often down the years, be a meeting of the top two with wider implications for the title race?
Watch: Dortmund finally won in Munich again in March 2024
