Bundesliga season 2026-27 starts later than usual due to World Cup
The Bundesliga season for 2026-27 will kick off later than usual, starting from August 28-30, 2026, as announced by the German Football League (DFL). This delay is due to the World Cup final taking place in the United States on July 19, which pushes the Bundesliga's schedule back by six weeks. This adjustment is significant as it reflects the impact of international events on domestic leagues, ensuring that fans can enjoy both the excitement of the World Cup and the start of the Bundesliga season.
