The Bundesliga 2024/25 season began on August 23 and will end on May 17
The campaign will feature 34 rounds of fixtures spread over a nine-month period
Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title in the 2023/24 season
The Bundesliga 2024/25 season got under way on August 23 with Bayer Leverkusen hoping to win the title for a second year in a row. Xabi Alonso’s side stunned the German top flight last term, going unbeaten across 34 games to claim the prize in style.
Bayern Munich lead the way as things stand, but they stumbled in a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin in their final fixture before the league broke off for the March internationals. Vincent Kompany’s side are still six points clear in top spot.
That gives Bayer Leverkusen a glimmer of hope following their 4-3 victory over Stuttgart last time out, but Alonso’s team need favors from Bayern’s opponents as the two teams have already met twice. As evidenced by the long odds below, no other team is in the mix for the Bundesliga title in 2024/25.

Bayern Munich are eight points clear at the summit of the standings, making them strong title favorites. They may have got lucky to avoid defeat by Bayer Leverkusen in a recent 0-0 draw, but Bayern have been the most consistent team in the league this term.
Vincent Kompany’s side were without Harry Kane at the weekend, yet they still eased to a 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. It is surely only a matter of time before Bayern are crowned champions of Germany once again.

Bayer Leverkusen are the reigning champions after their stunning title triumph last time out. Xabi Alonso’s side had a slow start to 2024/25, before their form picked up in the fall. They have only lost once all season, but eight draws could ultimately prove costly.
Leverkusen must still be wondering how they did not manage to beat Bayern Munich the weekend before last despite dominating the match from start to finish. Eight points adrift of Bayern in top spot, it will be tough for Alonso’s men to win the title from here.

Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying a fine Bundesliga season. After finishing sixth last term, Frankfurt are up to third place at the time of writing. However, they will find it tough to challenge the top two, especially after just losing 3-0 to Bayern Munich.
Qualifying for the Champions League would be an excellent achievement for a side that was seen as outsiders for the top four at the beginning of the campaign. A 16-point gap to Bayern means Frankfurt are massive outsiders to win the title, as shown by these odds.

RB Leipzig were level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the table after seven rounds of fixtures, but a downturn in form ended their title chances. A 5-1 defeat by Bayern immediately prior to the winter break was the final nail in the coffin.
Leipzig are instead focusing on qualifying for the Champions League. They are sixth at the time of writing, with league leaders Bayern 20 points ahead of Marco Rose’s charges. The title will not be heading to the Red Bull Arena this year.

Stuttgart’s achievement of finishing second last term was somewhat overshadowed by Bayer Leverkusen’s title triumph, but it was a remarkable feat. Sebastian Hoeness’s side will not finish that high in 2024/25, but they are still having a decent campaign.
Stuttgart find themselves seventh in the standings. A top-four finish and Champions League qualification is a distinct possibility, with Hoeness’ team just three points adrift of that target after the weekend. Stuttgart will not win the title, however.

The Bundesliga was only formed in 1963, which was significantly later than the equivalent national competitions in England (1888), Spain (1929), Italy (1929) and France (1932).
West Germany was slow to professionalize the game and had already won one World Cup before this happened with the launch of the Bundesliga.
The above table includes title wins in the pre-Bundesliga era. Only one of Nurnberg’s victories occurred after 1963, yet they remain the second-most successful club in German soccer history.
Bayern Munich are the only team to have reached double figures, and the fact they are 24 titles clear of second place shows that their dominance of the German game is historic as well as recent.
Thirty different clubs have won the German championship, including in the pre-Bundesliga era. Since the league was launched in its current guise in 1963, there have been 13 title winners.
By way of comparison, 12 different teams have won the English top flight since 1963 – which suggests the competitiveness of the two leagues has been similar over the last 60 years. Over in Spain, only seven clubs have won the La Liga title in the same period.
