Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund start time

Today (May 26) at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, 4:30 p.m. BST and 9:30 a.m. Pacific, Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund kicks off.

Are you ready with a Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund live stream? Yes, it's time for the latest anticipated fixture of the reborn Bundesliga 2019/2020 season — which pits the top teams against each other. 

The game will stream live from Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) in Dortmund, Germany. Everyone's eyes are on how the #1 (Bayern) and #2 (Dortmund) ranked clubs will manage to duke it out, and how much this game can shake up the rankings, as Bayern is on top by a mere 4 points. 

And thankfully, unlike KBO Korean baseball, it's taking place at a time that makes it easy to watch (even in the background as you work).

The game is set to take place without fans in attendance, as that is the new standard. Bayern has held onto its top rank for a little bit now, but this is Dortmund's first chance to wreak havoc directly on the leader to its face.

Even if all of my English words about German football (or, soccer, if you will) sounds like Greek (or French) to you, don't worry. I've got a complete guide to everywhere  you can watch Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund live streams around the world.

How can I use a VPN to watch Bayern vs. Dortmund?

Even if you're away from home, you can watch the big bad Bundesliga action — all while still using the services you pay for. All you need to do is get a virtual private network, or VPN. With a VPN in place, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home country, letting you access the same streaming services, even if you're in another region.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.

How to live stream Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund in Australia

In Australia, you've got two options for getting beIN Sports, the only channel with the Bundesliga action. The best value offer is to get beIN as a part of the Kayo Sports 2 week free trial, as you also get Fox Sports and ESPN channels.
