Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Competition – German Cup Stadium: BayArena Date: 22nd April 2026 Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
Wednesday evening at the BayArena, and Bayer Leverkusen host Bayern Munich in what promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the German Cup this season. These two sides have form a rivalry that needs no introduction — and a cup semi-final at Leverkusen’s ground, with a place at the final at stake, provides the ideal stage for another chapter. Bayern arrive as the form team of the entire continent, while Leverkusen come into this one with some defensive frailties to address and a point to prove on home soil.
Leverkusen’s recent run has been uneven. Their most recent outing ended in a 1–2 home defeat to Augsburg in the Bundesliga — a result that will have stung inside a ground that had grown accustomed to winning. Prior to that, a disciplined 1–0 victory away at Dortmund was a statement result of considerable quality. Before that, a 6–3 home win over Wolfsburg showcased Leverkusen at their attacking best. Earlier in this run, a 3–3 draw away at Heidenheim showed both the side’s goalscoring capacity and some defensive vulnerability. The sequence also includes a 2–0 defeat away at Arsenal in the Champions League knockout stage. Two wins, one draw and two defeats across five games is the profile of a side capable of brilliance but not yet operating with the consistency their cup run demands.
Bayern Munich, by contrast, are producing perhaps their most relentless run of form in years. Their most recent outing was a 4–2 home win over Stuttgart in the Bundesliga — commanding from start to finish. Prior to that, they defeated Real Madrid 4–3 at home in the Champions League knockout stage — a result of extraordinary drama and quality. Before that, a 5–0 away win at St. Pauli was a statement of domestic authority. Earlier in this run, wins over Real Madrid away — 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu — and at Freiburg — 3–2 — complete a perfect five from five across all competitions. Bayern are firing in every direction at once, and arriving at the BayArena in this kind of form makes them as dangerous as any team in Europe right now.
The head-to-head record favours Bayern, who have won three of the last five meetings, with two draws and no wins for Leverkusen. Most recently, the sides drew 1–1 at the BayArena in March 2026. In the previous encounter, Bayern won 3–0 at home in November 2025. Leverkusen’s record on their own ground against Bayern is one of draws and defeats — and overturning that pattern will require a performance of the highest order on Wednesday evening.
In Germany, the match is live on ZDF, Sky Sport Top Event and Sky Sport Mix, with streaming available via Sky Go and WOW.
