The 2026/27 Frauen-Bundesliga season is set to commence with FC Bayern München remaining the primary favorites to secure their fifth consecutive championship. Bayern is scheduled to open their campaign with an away match against Union Berlin, where head coach Marie-Louise Eta aims to disrupt the league hierarchy.

Eintracht Frankfurt, following a third-place finish last season, will host 1. FC Köln on Saturday, August 22. Frankfurt enters the new season with momentum after a successful preseason that included a victory over Olympique Lyon.

Other league developments include ongoing preparation struggles for Hamburger SV following a heavy 1-5 friendly loss to Werder Bremen. Additionally, increasing international competition for talent is reportedly driving up wages and transfer fees across the league.
