Bayern Munich will put their remarkable Bundesliga away record on the line when they visit Schalke in the second round of the German top flight on Saturday, 5 September.
The match will be Bayern’s first away fixture of the new Bundesliga season, with Vincent Kompany’s side arriving at Schalke having gone almost two years without defeat on the road in the competition.
Bayern have not lost a Bundesliga away game since December 2024. Their current unbeaten sequence stands at 26 matches, a run which includes 20 victories and six draws.
That record has been built since their 2-1 defeat by Mainz. Bayern have responded to that setback with a sustained period of consistency away from home, avoiding defeat in every Bundesliga match on the road since.
The figures provide a significant backdrop to Saturday’s fixture. Schalke will be the first team to host Bayern in the league this season, while the visitors will be seeking to extend a sequence that has already lasted 26 matches.
For Kompany’s team, the challenge is not simply to begin their away campaign with a positive result. They will also be attempting to preserve a record that has remained intact since the loss to Mainz in December 2024.
Bayern’s results during that period have been dominated by wins, with 20 victories compared with six draws. The balance of those results means the team have avoided defeat in all 26 away Bundesliga matches played since the Mainz game.
Schalke and Bayern are scheduled to begin at 19:30 Moscow time on Saturday. A live text commentary of the match will be available on the LiveResult portal.
The fixture therefore gives Bayern an immediate opportunity to continue one of the most notable statistical runs surrounding the opening rounds of the new Bundesliga season. A draw would extend the unbeaten sequence, while a victory would add to the 20 wins already recorded during the run. A defeat would bring the streak to an end.
