Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

The German champions will get the Bundesliga season under way against Julian Nagelsmann's side at the Allianz Arena

Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim will face off in the Bundesliga curtain-raiser when the two sides meet at the Allianz Arena on Friday evening.

Niko Kovac will contest his first Bundesliga fixture in charge of the Bavarians against Julian Nagelsmann's side, after maintaining a 100 per cent start as head coach of the German champions with victory in the first round of the DFB-Pokal last weekend.

Bayern will be aiming to win a seventh consecutive German title this season, and with the majority of their squad having returned to full fitness following a post-World Cup holiday, Kovac will be eager to register an opening day win.
