The FC Bayern Munich Women sit atop the Frauen-Bundesliga table — but depending on which website you check, you might think they’re leading the next season entirely. Confusion is mounting as conflicting statistics from FootyStats, Global Sports Archive, and AiScore blur the lines between the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 campaigns. One source claims Bayern has 59 points from 22 matches; another says they’ve earned 19 points from just seven games. And here’s the kicker: Frauen-Bundesliga isn’t even playing right now. The 2024/2025 season ended in May. The 2025/2026 season hasn’t started yet. So what’s going on?
Conflicting Data, Real Teams
The truth is messy. Multiple platforms are publishing projected or premature data for the upcoming 2025/2026 season, while others are accidentally recycling last season’s numbers. According to Global Sports Archive, the completed 2024/2025 season saw FC Bayern Munich Women finish first with 59 points from 22 matches (19 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), a +43 goal difference. VfL Wolfsburg Women came second with 51 points, just eight behind. But VfL Wolfsburg Women had already clinched their sixth league title in May — the same month the season ended. So how can they still be chasing Bayern in a season that’s over? They can’t. That data is outdated or mislabeled.Meanwhile, FootyStats shows Bayern with 19 points from 7 matches in what it labels the 2025/2026 season. But that’s impossible — no matches have been played. The 2025–26 Frauen-BundesligaGermany doesn’t kick off until September 5, 2025. The 18-point gap between Bayern and bottom-placed SGS Essen cited by FootyStats? That’s pure projection. Zero matches played. Zero goals scored in 49 matches? That’s not a statistic — it’s a glitch. A system error. A bot feeding fake data into a live feed.
Who’s Really Dominating?
If we strip away the noise and look at verified results from the just-concluded 2024/2025 season, the picture becomes clearer. FC Bayern Munich Women finished as runners-up, behind VfL Wolfsburg Women, who claimed their sixth title — their first since 2022. Eintracht Frankfurt was the surprise offensive powerhouse, scoring 68 goals in 22 games — the highest in league history. Their +46 goal difference wasn’t just impressive; it was historic. Bayer 04 Leverkusen and SC Freiburg held steady in the top half, while SGS Essen narrowly avoided relegation by one point. The bottom three — Essen, SV Werder Bremen, and RB Leipzig — were all within five points of each other. That’s not dominance. That’s chaos.What’s more, Eintracht Frankfurt — the successor to the legendary 1. FFC Frankfurt — has quietly become the league’s most consistent challenger. They’ve finished in the top three in six of the last seven seasons. Their 2024/2025 campaign was the most explosive offensive display since the 2007/2008 season, when they last won the title. The gap between them and Bayern? Just one point in the final standings. That’s not a fluke. That’s a rivalry rekindling.
History Isn’t Just Numbers — It’s Legacy
The Frauen-Bundesliga has seen dynasties rise and fall. 1. FFC Frankfurt ruled the 1990s and early 2000s, winning seven titles. FC Bayern Munich Women didn’t even win their first title until 2015. Now, they’re the financial powerhouse, with sponsorship deals that dwarf most clubs in Europe. But money doesn’t always win trophies. VfL Wolfsburg Women have quietly built a machine — consistent, disciplined, relentless. Their 2024/2025 title wasn’t a surprise. It was the culmination of five years of steady progress. And now, with star striker Lea Schüller still in her prime, they’re not done.Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt are playing with joy. Their midfield trio of Lea Schüller, Stina Blackstenius, and Julia Zirnstein is the most dangerous in the league. They don’t just score — they dismantle defenses. In one match last season, they scored six goals against SGS Essen. That’s not football. That’s theater.
What’s Next? The 2025/2026 Season Looms
The 2025–26 Frauen-BundesligaGermany will be the 36th season, administered by the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB). Twelve teams. 22 matches. No more data chaos. But the questions remain: Can Bayern finally dethrone Wolfsburg? Will Frankfurt’s attack break records again? And will Essen survive another year?One thing’s certain: the league is no longer a two-team race. It’s a three-team battle with a pack of hungry challengers behind them. The data may be broken right now, but the story? It’s never been clearer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there conflicting standings for the Frauen-Bundesliga?
Multiple sports data platforms are publishing projected or outdated stats, mixing up the completed 2024/2025 season with the upcoming 2025/2026 season. Some sites are using early-season projections as if they’re real results, while others are recycling last season’s numbers. No matches have been played yet in 2025/2026 — so any standings showing games played are incorrect.
Who actually won the 2024/2025 Frauen-Bundesliga?
VfL Wolfsburg Women won the 2024/2025 title, securing their sixth championship. They finished with 51 points, one point ahead of FC Bayern Munich Women, who had 49 points. Eintracht Frankfurt finished third with 50 points but had a better goal difference than Bayern, highlighting the tight competition.
Why is Eintracht Frankfurt’s goal difference so impressive?
Eintracht Frankfurt scored 68 goals in 22 matches during the 2024/2025 season — the most in league history — while conceding only 22. Their +46 goal difference surpassed even Bayern’s +43. This offensive explosion was driven by a dynamic front line featuring Lea Schüller and Stina Blackstenius, who combined for 41 goals. Their style is fast, direct, and devastatingly efficient.
When does the 2025/2026 Frauen-Bundesliga start?
The 2025–26 Frauen-BundesligaGermany is scheduled to begin on September 5, 2025, and conclude on May 17, 2026. The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed the calendar in June 2025, with all 12 teams set to play 22 matches in a double round-robin format.
How many titles has FC Bayern Munich won in the Frauen-Bundesliga?
FC Bayern Munich Women have won seven Frauen-Bundesliga titles, with their most recent coming in the 2021/2022 season. Despite dominating financially and in attendance, they’ve finished as runners-up in the last two seasons — to Wolfsburg in 2024/2025 and to themselves in 2021/2022. Their next title could come in 2025/2026 if they close the gap on Wolfsburg’s consistency.
Is relegation still a threat for SGS Essen?
Yes. In the 2024/2025 season, SGS Essen survived relegation by just one point, finishing 10th out of 12 teams. With no major signings reported for 2025/2026 and a squad aging, they’re considered favorites for automatic relegation unless they bring in key midfield reinforcements. Their 2024/2025 goal difference of -31 was the worst in the league.
