What to watch out for as the Bundesliga resumes play  DW  01/08/2026
"After 15 matches, Bayern Munich remain undefeated and comfortably top the table with a nine-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund and Bayern's goal difference is a staggering 30 goals better than Dortmund's. Only once since the three-points-for-a-win system was introduced in 1995 has a league leader squandered a nine-point lead after the 15th matchday: Borussia Dortmund achieved this ignominious feat in the 2018-19 season allowing Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga by two points."
"The Bundesliga's winter break was less than three weeks long this season, due to the need to get league play done in time to make way for the World Cup, which kicks off in the United States on June 11. Mexico and Canada are also to host a few matches. Due to the brevity of this winter break, only six of the Bundesliga's 18 clubs traveled abroad for their winter training camps."
The Bundesliga's winter break lasted under three weeks because league play needed to finish before the World Cup in the United States, with Mexico and Canada hosting some matches. Only six of 18 clubs traveled abroad for winter training camps; many clubs, including Bayern Munich, stayed home. Bayern are undefeated after 15 matches, leading by nine points over Borussia Dortmund with a goal difference 30 goals superior. Only once since 1995 has a nine-point lead after matchday 15 been lost. Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig trail by 12 points and aim for top-four finishes. Bayern can pursue a treble, are well-placed in the Champions League, reach the German Cup quarterfinals against Leipzig, and can threaten their own 91-point Bundesliga record from 2012-13 with 41 points from 15 games.
