Dortmund And Bayern will pick up their never-ending rivalry where it left off, in a match that will live stream from Signal Iduna Park.

Bayern have also won the Super Cup three years in a row, defeating Dortmund two of those games, per SB Nation. Bayern have won seven trophies overall in the single-match competition, with Borussia Dortmund winning five.
Dortmund’s highest-profile acquisition of the summer, 30-year-old Germany center back Mats Hummels will face his previous club, after making the back-and-forth switch from Munich to Dortmund for the second time, as USA Today reported. Hummels, who came up through Bayern’s youth academy from the age of six, first moved to Dortmund in 2008 after two years with Bayern’s senior team. After eight seasons in the yellow-and-black, Hummels returned to Bayern for three seasons, and now makes his competitive debut for Borussia Dortmund his second time around.
