FC Bayern Munich has unveiled their adidas 2026/27 home kit, with the strip set to make its competitive debut in one of European football’s most anticipated fixtures. On May 6, Bayern will host Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final, and it is on that occasion that the new jersey will first appear on the pitch.
The timing is no coincidence — the club says that new kit is built for high-stakes moments, and it will serve as the club’s match-day identity throughout their 2026/27 German Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and UEFA Champions League campaigns.
Produced by adidas, the 2026/27 home shirt retains the club’s established red and white palette while incorporating a design that aims to balance tradition with a sharper, more modern sensibility. The jersey avoids reinvention for its own sake, instead presenting a considered update to a familiar visual identity.
Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane are among the first-team names expected to wear the strip for the first time in the semi-final clash against PSG — a match in which a place in the Champions League final is at stake.
Perhaps the most notable detail on this season’s home shirt is the addition of the legendary cockatoo as a chest badge. The symbol, which carries specific significance within the club’s culture, appears in this position for the first time on a Bayern home kit. Its inclusion is directly tied to the club’s most recent Bundesliga title, serving as a commemorative marker rather than a purely decorative choice. It gives the 2026/27 home jersey a historical dimension that sets it apart from a routine annual release.
The new kit is not exclusive to the men’s side. FC Bayern Women will also debut the 2026/27 home shirt in a significant fixture of their own. On May 9, captain Glodis Viggosdottir will lead her squad out in the jersey for the first time when Bayern Women host Eintracht Frankfurt at the FC Bayern Campus. The match carries added weight: following the final whistle, the women’s team are scheduled to be presented with their championship trophy, making the kit’s women’s debut as meaningful as its men’s counterpart.
As debuts go, the 2026/27 adidas home kit for FC Bayern Munich is arriving at a particularly charged moment in the club’s season. Both the men’s and women’s teams are set to wear it for the first time in championship-related occasions, which is a rare coincidence of timing. Across Bundesliga matchdays, DFB-Pokal fixtures, and UEFA Champions League ties over the coming campaign, the red and white strip — with its new cockatoo badge — will represent the standard Bayern have set for themselves entering the 2026/27 season.
