By naming the Supercup after Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away in January 2024, the DFL and the DFB are jointly honouring his contributions to German football. As one of the first sporting highlights of the new season, the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup traditionally features the German champions and the DFB Cup winners and is usually broadcast in around 200 FIFA member countries.
Since Bayern secured both the Bundesliga title and the DFB Cup in the past season, this year’s Franz Beckenbauer Supercup will, for the first time since 2021, see them face second-place in the league, Dortmund.
