Bayern Munich prepares Allianz Arena for new pitch installation

FC Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena is set to receive a new grass surface as preparations continue for the 2026/27 season. Following a series of summer concerts, work begins on the pitch to ensure it is ready for upcoming matches, including a friendly against RB Leipzig on August 15. The installation of the new grass is crucial for Bayern's packed schedule of Bundesliga and Champions League fixtures. Historically, the grass lasts until an NFL game scheduled for November 15, after which further replacements may be necessary.
