German clubs in UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League: 2026/27 fixtures
Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart are representing the Bundesliga in the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, while Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen will compete in the UEFA Europa League and Freiburg take on the UEFA Conference League.
Bayern, who reached last season's semi-finals before being knocked out by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain, will host the beaten finalists and English Premier League champions, while they also face trips to Atlético Madrid and Manchester United. Dortmund, meanwhile, also face Arsenal, albeit in London instead of their own Signal Iduna Park. The Black-Yellows' other eye-catching matches include a home game versus Inter Milan and a trip to Birmingham to face 2025/26's UEFA Europa League winners Aston Villa.
On their return to European football, Leipzig face a difficult set of fixtures. Amongst their opponents are new coach Martín Demichelis' former club Manchester City, plus Real Madrid and Manchester United. Meanwhile, Stuttgart, who are about to embark on their second Champions League campaign in the last three seasons, host Atlético Madrid and travel to Inter Milan.
