Bayern Munich will get the new Bundesliga season under way with a home game against Hamburg, who avoided relegation last season via a play-off.
The first game of the 53rd season of the Bundesliga will take place on Friday, August 14 at the Allianz Arena with the defending champions hosting Hamburg in a repeat of their opening day meeting from 2008.
Bayern won that game 2-1 and they will be hoping for a similar outcome as they start their bid for a fourth straight Bundesliga title.
Elsewhere in the opening round of the season, Thomas Tuchel has been given a tough debut on the Borussia Dortmund bench with Borussia M’gladbach – who finished third last season – the visitors to the Westfalenstadion.
New Schalke coach Andre Breitenreiter leads his side to Werder Bremen while Bayer Leverkusen, fourth last term behind Bayern, Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach, host Hoffenheim.
Newly-promoted Ingolstadt and Darmstadt, take on Mainz and Hannover respectively, while Stuttgart start at home to Cologne and Armin Veh begins his second stint as Eintracht Frankfurt coach with a trip to Wolfsburg.
Finally, Augsburg kick off a season which will include European football for the first time with a home match against Hertha Berlin.
