Bundesliga Haus Comes to Chicago for First Time with Halloween-Themed Der Klassiker Watch Party this Weekend

STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 29, 2026 – USA Sports’ exclusive English-language coverage of the Bundesliga  continues this weekend headlined by Der Klassiker – one of the Bundesliga’s biggest rivalries – on Halloween as 2026 Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane and FC Bayern Munich face Borussia Dortmund from Munich’s Allianz Arena this Saturday, Oct. 31, at 1:30 p.m. ET live on CNBC and streaming for free on Fandango.

Through seven matches, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund each have five wins and two draws (17 points) to sit atop the league. With the clubs even on points, Bayern currently sit in first place on goal difference. Earlier this year in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on USA Network, Bayern topped Dortmund, 2-1, behind goals from Nathaniel Brown and Michael Olise. 

The two powerhouse clubs, who finished first (Bayern) and second (Dortmund) in the Bundesliga last season, have combined to win 16 of the past 17 league titles. Bayern owns the most Bundesliga championships with 35, while Dortmund has the third-most all-time with eight, as well as 12 runner-up finishes. 

On Monday, Bayern forward Harry Kane was announced as the 2026 Ballon d’Or winner, becoming the first Bundesliga player to the prestigious award since 1996. Kane scored 73 goals across all competitions throughout the 2025-26 season, including 61 for Bayern.
