SV Elversberg welcome Bayern Munich to the URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde on Sunday for one of the most intriguing fixtures of Bundesliga Matchday 3. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time, or 11:30 a.m. ET, with the match available to viewers in the United States on USA Network and Peacock.
The newly promoted hosts have made a sensational start to their first-ever Bundesliga campaign, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 before producing a remarkable comeback victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Bayern, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Schalke last weekend but responded in midweek with a 5-0 Champions League victory over Bodø/Glimt. The matchup pits Elversberg’s fearless momentum against Bayern’s depth and experience.
