1899 Hoffenheim will face Bayern Munich in a Bundesliga match on April 17, 2027. The fixture is scheduled to be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich, according to a report from the sports news outlet thescore.com.
The two teams last met on February 8, 2026, a match which Bayern Munich won 5-1. For the 2027/28 season, in which this game will take place, no official records exist yet. The early scheduling, however, sets up a tantalizing spring clash.
What is the current context for Hoffenheim?
Hoffenheim finished the completed 2024/25 season in sixth place in the Bundesliga. The club amassed 51 points from 29 games, recording 15 wins, six draws, and eight losses. Their recent form leading into the season's end was marked by results of loss, loss, draw, loss, win (DLLDW). During that campaign, the squad scored 57 goals and conceded 43, resulting in a positive goal difference of +14. In the title race, this placed them 25 points behind the then-leaders Bayern Munich. Hoffenheim's next official task in the current pre-season is an away match against 1. FC Köln on August 29, 2026. Köln finished the previous season in twelfth position.
