Background
FC Bayern München came into the season as defending champions, winning the championship on 25 March 2014 against Hertha BSC. Armin Veh announced that he was leaving Eintracht Frankfurt during the 2013–14 season. He had demanded that that the club invest more money in the squad. Thomas Schaaf replaced Veh. Bayer 04 Leverkusen sacked Sami Hyypiä during the 2013–14 season. Sascha Lewandowski was named interim manager. Lewandowski's interim reign lasted until the end of the season when Roger Schmidt took over. Other managerial changes include Kasper Hjulmand replacing Thomas Tuchel at 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Armin Veh replacing Huub Stevens at VfB Stuttgart. Every club received their license. The league schedule came out on 24 June with Bayern München facing VfL Wolfsburg in the opening fixture on 22 August. The match ended 2–1 win for FC Bayern, a record third straight win for the home team, on the opening matchday, in the last three seasons.
