Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Live stream the DFL-Supercup online

Two titans of German football meet in this year's DFL-Supercup as domestic double winners Bayern Munich take on Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund. Read on to find out how to watch this match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund no matter where in the world you are.

The DFL-Supercup is the traditional curtain-raising game for the domestic soccer season in Germany, though the global pandemic put a pause on those plans and sees the game take place after the season has already begun.

Similar to the Community Shield game in England, the DFL-Supercup sees the Bundesliga champions from the previous season face off against the winners of the DFB-Pokal cup competition. Since Bayern Munich won both of those honors last season, the Bundesliga runners-up are awarded the Supercup berth.

Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga at a canter last season. That title was their eighth successive league win in what has been almost a decade of domestic dominance. FCB also lifted the DFB-Pokal for a record 20th time last campaign in a thrilling final that saw the German champions beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2. On top of that domestic success, Bayern went on to win the Champions League, seeing off French champions PSG and asserting themselves as the best side in Europe.

Despite finishing second in the Bundesliga title-race once again last season, Borussia Dortmund are actually the holders of the DFL-Supercup after beating Bayern Munich in the same showpiece fixture in 2019. A win in today's game would see BVB equal Bayern Munich's record for the most Supercup wins.

This year, the DFL-Supercup is being played after the domestic campaign has already begun and represents Bayern Munich's third game in seven days, owing to their participation in the UEFA Super Cup, meaning some star players are likely to be rested.

So far this season, both teams have recorded one victory and one defeat in the Bundesliga with Dortmund also winning in the DFB-Pokal first round. Munich beat Europa League champions Sevilla 2-1 to lift the UEFA Super Cup last week.
