Dortmund have managed to stay within touching distance of league leaders Bayern, grinding out wins in recent weeks without their talismanic star man Erling Braut Haaland.

Whether Haaland plays or not, Bayern come into this clash as unsurprising favourites, and should feel confident having already won on this ground once already this season in the DFL-Supercup, beating Marco Rose’s side by three goals to one.

Here's how to watch a Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Bundesliga live stream no matter where you are in the world.
