It’s a potentially crucial clash in the race for the Bundesliga title on Saturday as last year’s runners-up Bayern Munich welcome defending champs Bayer Leverkusen to Allianz Arena.
Bayern currently tops the table after making a bright start under new boss Vincent Kompany, having claimed with 12 points from their opening four league games.
It’s been a mixed season so far for Leverkusen. Xabu Alonso’s side have won six of their seven competitive games but look decidedly shaky in defence, having conceded 11 times already.

Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m CEST local time in Germany, making it an 12:30 p.m. ET or 9:30 a.m PT start in the US, a 5:30 p.m. start in the UK and a 2:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Sunday morning.

How to watch the Bundesliga from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view Bundesliga matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
