Bayern Munich are travelling to Norway for a Champions League match. The German champions will face Viking FK in Stavanger on 13 October 2026.
Bild Sport exclusively reported on the club's travel plans. "Experience the atmosphere of European competition up close!" said a spokesperson for the editorial team. The match is part of the group stage of Europe's premier club competition.
When is the match in Norway?
The fixture is scheduled for 13 October 2026. For fans wishing to accompany the team, travel packages are being offered for the period from 12 to 14 October. This gives supporters the chance to explore the city of Stavanger in addition to attending the match. The Bayern players and coaching staff will arrive shortly before kick-off.
Viking FK play their home matches at the Stavanger Stadium. For Bayern Munich, it is a classic away fixture in the Champions League. The team managed by Hansi Flick will be looking to secure important points on the road. You can view the full season schedule on our fixtures page.
What does this match mean for Bayern?
Every away match in the Champions League group stage is highly significant. Securing points in Norway would be an important step towards the knockout rounds. While Viking FK are not considered a European top side, away games in Scandinavia always present specific challenges.
Bayern will have to adapt to unfamiliar conditions. The climate in Norway in October can already be quite cool. The travel distance is also longer than to many other European destinations. The team is therefore likely to travel as early as 12 October to acclimatise. The current squad list shows which players are available for this trip.
What is Bayern's current situation?
Bayern Munich go into this encounter as clear favourites. The squad possesses significantly more international experience than the Norwegian champions. However, the task must not be underestimated. There have been surprises in such matchups in the past.
Preparation for this match will be a focal point in the training schedule. Coach Flick will tailor his tactics to the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Key players need to be kept fit to perform at their best in Stavanger. Injury updates are available on our injuries page.
The trip to Norway is another building block in a demanding season. Alongside the Champions League, FC Bayern are also fighting for the Bundesliga title. Every win counts double for team morale and rhythm. A success in Stavanger would further boost confidence.
After the match in Norway, the next Bundesliga game is already waiting. The team must switch focus quickly, as the fixture list remains congested. The exact dates of the upcoming fixtures can be found online.
