The 24/25 Women’s Bundesliga season is upon us, as the two-time defending champions, Bayern Munich Ladies, are ready for a new title defense. There are some interesting teams as well, like VfL Wolfsburg Women and Eintracht Frankfurt Women, so let’s take a look at the contenders and their chances of winning the championship.
The 2024–25 Frauen-Bundesliga season is finally here, and the action is about to start, as the competition kicks off on August 30, 2024, and ends on May 11, 2025. There will be 12 teams competing in the Women’s Bundesliga this year, but the league will change the format to 14 teams from next season. VfL Wolfsburg Women and Bayern Munich Women have dominated the league in recent years, as the She-wolves won it seven times and the Bavarians won it five times in the last 12 years.

Since the German football bookmakers are yet to offer 2024–25 Frauen-Bundesliga winner odds, let’s take a look at the favorites to win the title:
Bayern Munich Women have won the DFB-Supercup Frauen over Wolfsburg Women last Sunday, so they have started the season with a trophy already. The Bavarians are the clear favorites to win the title, especially after their performance in the last couple of seasons, and they have strengthened their squad even more this year.
The She-wolves are still one of the best teams in the Frauen Bundesliga, and they looked competitive in their match against Bayern last week. The Wolfsburg Ladies lost their star player, Ewa Pajor, to Barcelona, and she was last year’s Women’s Bundesliga top scorer with 18 goals. They won the DFB-Pokal Women over the Bavarians last season, but they have taken a step backward by that Pajor transfer.
Eintracht Frankfurt Ladies finished in third place comfortably in the Women’s Bundesliga last season. They have a very solid defense, conceding 25 goals last year, which was the third-best in the league. The Eagles also had a good performance to finish third in a tough Women’s Champions League group, which consisted of Barcelona, Benfica, and Rosengard. So, they are expected to do well this year, but it will be hard to win the league title.
Hoffenheim Women have been one of the best teams in the competition lately, finishing in the top five in the last five seasons. They haven’t been that active in this transfer window, as they have only signed Michelle Weiss from Werder Bremen W. Hoffenheim Women have reached the UWCL only once in their history, so their goal will be to finish in the top three in the Frauen Bundesliga and do that again.
The Frauen-Bundesliga consists of 12 teams fighting for the championship, as each team plays a total of 22 matches, and the club with the most points wins the title. The winners also qualify directly for the UEFA Women’s Champions League, while the second and third teams get into the UWCL qualifications. This will be the first time that only one team gets relegated to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, as the league will expand to 14 teams from the next season onwards.
FC Nürnberg W and MSV Duisburg W got relegated to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga after finishing in the bottom two places last season, and they were replaced by Turbine Potsdam W and Carl Zeiss Jena W in the top league.
This will be the 35th Frauen-Bundesliga edition, and Bayern Munich Women will be trying to defend their title once again. Eintracht Frankfurt Women and VfL Wolfsburg Women are tied for the most championships (7), while the Bavarians are not far behind with six trophies.
Here’s a list of the last five Frauen-Bundesliga winners, as the Bavarians won the championship three times and the She-wolves won it twice in that period:
We will start our 24-25 Ladies Bundesliga predictions with Bayern Munich winning the title. They look like the most complete team offensively and defensively, especially after adding Julia Zigiotti Olme and Lena Oberdorf this transfer window. They finished last season in top place and were seven points clear of Wolfsburg, so their chances are even better this year, with the She-wolves losing their best 2 players. Unfortunately, the Women’s Bundesliga 24/25 odds aren’t available yet for the outright winners, but you can easily pick Bayern in every matchup they participate.

The football bookies have some enticing odds available for this opening match, as the recently promoted Potsdam Women will host the defending champions, Bayern Munich Women. This has been a high-scoring matchup historically, as they are averaging 6.66 goals per game in their last three head-to-head matches. The Bavarians have scored three or more goals on their own in five of their last seven games, so they are in good scoring form, while Potsdam will be looking to score at home as well.
Despite the lack of odds for the new Frauen-Bundesliga season so far, we recommend betting on the Bavarians throughout the year. Make sure to use our 24/25 Women’s Bundesliga season predictions and bet them at the betting sites in Germany to have more fun watching the event.
