FC Bayern has reason to celebrate another championship title—though this time, it’s off the soccer field. The German record champion has been named “Fan Champion” for the twelfth time. In the 2025/2026 Bundesliga Barometer, the Munich club not only secured first place but also set a new record.

More than 5,800 fans participated in the survey and gave FC Bayern an overall rating of 1.89—a result that has never been seen before.

Stadium announcer Stephan Lehmann proudly announced the award and referred to it as the “best rating in the history of the survey.”

For the Munich club, this marks their twelfth victory in this fan ranking. This latest accolade underscores the fans’ high level of satisfaction with their club.

Bayern excelled in 13 out of 21 categories

Particularly noteworthy is the club’s performance across the individual evaluation criteria.

In a total of 13 out of 21 areas surveyed, FC Bayern ranked among the top three clubs.

These include, among other things, the record champion’s image, the club’s philosophy, its management, and the fans themselves.

The results show that the Munich-based club is viewed positively not only because of its on-field successes. The work behind the scenes and the club’s overall philosophy also resonate strongly with those surveyed.

The official trophy was presented by Erik Peters, a member of the editorial board at Sport BILD, and Prof. Dr. Alfons Madeja. Madeja is responsible for compiling the Bundesliga Barometer.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen accepted the award.

Dreesen is delighted with the fans’ special vote

The Bayern boss expressed great satisfaction with the award, which the club has received once again. “This isn’t something to be taken for granted; it’s a fantastic honor—for us as a club, the most important thing is that it’s a vote from the fans,” Dreesen explained.

It is particularly the fact that the rating comes directly from the fans that makes this success so valuable to the CEO. “This shows trust—and is an honor for the team, but also for all our employees,” emphasized the 59-year-old.

For FC Bayern, this twelfth Fan Championship is thus far more than just another trophy.

While titles are regularly contested on the field, the Bundesliga Barometer reveals how the record champion is perceived off the field as well.

With a historic top score of 1.89, the Munich-based club has now set a new benchmark in the history of the survey.
