Bayern Munich lost just once all season, scoring 122 goals — a remarkable tally — to finish 16 points clear of Borussia Dortmund. VfL Wolfsburg, 1. FC Heidenheim and FC St. Pauli were relegated to 2. Bundesliga.

Schalke 04 return to the top flight immediately as 2. Bundesliga champions, joined by SV Elversberg (first-ever Bundesliga promotion for the club) and play-off winners SC Paderborn.

2026/27 Preview

What to expect in 2026/27?

Bayern reload again while the promoted clubs prepare for an immediate step up in class.

Bayern Munich have added Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt and Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven for around €50m each, while Manuel Neuer extended his contract for another year with Jonas Urbig set for more minutes. The champions open the campaign against Borussia Dortmund in the DFL-Supercup on 22 August.

Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig will look to close the gap after finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively, while newly promoted Schalke 04, SV Elversberg and SC Paderborn aim to avoid an immediate return to the second tier.

Predictions will be computed using the Poisson model from home/away goal averages once the 2026/27 season kicks off. For illustration only — not financial advice.

How predictions work

MatchPulse uses a Poisson-based model that converts each team's home and away goal-scoring and conceding averages into an expected goals (xG) projection for 1X2, Over/Under and BTTS markets. Once the 2026/27 season begins, this page updates automatically round by round with live standings and predictions.
