The 2022–23 Bundesliga is the 60th season of the Bundesliga, Germany’s premier football competition. It began on 5 August 2022 and is scheduled to conclude on 27 May 2023.
Bayern Munich are the ten-time consecutive defending champions.
As the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held between 21 November and 18 December 2022 due to the climatic conditions of the host country Qatar, the league will feature an extended pause during the season. As national team players must be released by their clubs on 14 November 2022, the last Bundesliga matchday before the break is scheduled from 11–13 November (matchday 15). The league will resume ten weeks later on 20 January 2023.
The fixtures were announced on 17 June 2022.
