After going three games without a win before the international break, head coach Vincent Kompany will be hoping his Bayern Munich side can bounce back on Saturday as they host VfB Stuttgart.
The hosts remain top of the table despite their indifferent form but face an injury blow coming into this fixture with playmaker Jamal Musiala still unavailable thanks to a hip issue.
They face a Stuttgart, which finished above them in second last season. Currently in eighth position and without a win in their last three Bundesliga matches, Sebastian Hoeness’ side haven’t quite maintained the same superb form coming into this new campaign but will nevertheless provide stiff opposition today for a Bayern side that still isn’t firing on all cylinders.
Bayern Munich host Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, Oct. 19. 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. BST start in the UK and a 2:30 a.m. AEDT 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.

Quick tips for streaming the Bundesliga using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Bundesliga matches may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
