According to Bild, Bayern Munich's squad will visit Oktoberfest on the afternoon of September 20, which will put additional pressure on international players.

Although the extended international break runs from September 21 to October 6, Bayern Munich will still hold its traditional official Oktoberfest visit this year. Head coach Vincent Kompany, his coaching staff, players, club staff, and management will head to the Käfer tent.

Starting September 21, clubs must officially release their selected players to their respective national teams. For players facing long travel, such as Luis Díaz, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies, the Saturday Oktoberfest visit is more convenient, as they can rest on Sunday or leave earlier to join their national teams.

September 19, Oktoberfest's opening day, was not chosen because the venue would be overcrowded, creating significant organizational and security pressure on the Käfer tent, police, and Bayern Munich. By contrast, the first Sunday is quieter and has traditionally been Bayern Munich's day to visit the Käfer beer hall. However, this year's schedule will create greater pressure on international players.

There is no alternative to this timing. The new international break begins September 21 and officially ends October 6. International players will be absent for nearly the entire Oktoberfest period, except for the first Saturday and Sunday. FIFA, for the first time in 2026, combined the previously separate September and October international windows into one extended break. In previous years, Bayern Munich players also attended Oktoberfest together after official club events, but most will be unable to do so this year.
