Are you ready for some fussball? The 2020-21 German Bundesliga season kicks off on Friday with serial champions (and winners of the last eight titles) Bayern Munich hosting Schalke -- watch live in the U.S., 2.30 p.m. ET, ESPN -- and with that, plenty of anticipation for what promises to be an exceptional campaign.
The Bundesliga has it all: fan passion, top American prospects, world-class stars from A (Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich) to Z (Denis Zakaria, Borussia Monchengladbach), a titan in Bayern and a strong chasing pack led by Borussia Dortmund.
