As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, Bayern Munich has unveiled their annual Oktoberfest kit for the 2026-27 season, just ahead of the iconic Bavarian festival.
The Bundesliga powerhouse has designed a special jersey to celebrate Oktoberfest—known locally as “Wiesn”—each year since 2021, and this year’s release may be the most striking yet.
While past designs tended to be understated, with elegant nods to various traditional Wiesn elements adorned with gold accents, this year’s shirt takes a bold departure.

Last year’s stylish cream and green jersey celebrated both the club’s 125th anniversary and the 190th Munich beer festival. In contrast, the 2026-27 edition focuses entirely on capturing the vibrant spirit of Oktoberfest—its lively atmosphere, bright colors, and festive energy.
Adorned with a swirling floral design resembling abstract bouquets in an array of red, white, blue, yellow, and green against a black background, the shirt offers an eye-catching look. It also features the classic Adidas logo and the specially designed “FC Bayern Wiesn” crest that has appeared on most previous Oktoberfest jerseys.
This shirt is part of a broader collection of Bayern Oktoberfest merchandise, which includes matching jackets, cardigans, and sweatpants. For those wanting to fully embrace the festival vibe, the club is offering authentic leather FC Bayern lederhosen, thick woolen boot socks, and traditional dirndl dresses.
As the 191st Munich Oktoberfest prepares to begin this Saturday, September 19, Bayern plans to showcase their limited-edition 2026-27 Wiesn kit a day earlier, during their match against Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena on September 18.
In my view, this announcement highlights the unique way soccer clubs can celebrate cultural traditions, engaging fans with beautifully designed merchandise. It not only strengthens the connection between the team and its supporters but also exposes the excitement of Oktoberfest to a global audience, showcasing the vibrant intersection of sports and culture.
