Bayern Munich will open their defence of the Bundesliga title they won last season with a home game against Werder Bremen at Allianz Arena.
This will be Carlo Ancelotti’s first official match in charge of the Bavarians after taking over from Pep Guardiola at the end of last season.
The German top-flight announced its full schedule for the 2016-17 campaign on Wednesday, with Bayern hosting Bremen on August 26.
Last season’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund are at home to Mainz, while the pick of the opening fixtures sees Borussia Monchengladbach host Bayer Leverkusen as the teams who finished fourth and third respectively last season go head-to-head.
Promoted club Freiburg start at Hertha Berlin, while RB Leipzig’s first Bundesliga match having risen through the leagues will see them travel to Hoffenheim.
Bayern’s first match against rivals Dortmund will take place at the Signal Iduna Park on match-day 11.
Bayern have won 26 league titles – a record – with last season’s success making them the first team to win four in a row.
