RB Leipzig has unveiled a new Champions League kit for the 2026/27 season. The design release marks the return of the Saxons to the premier European competition after a year's absence. The club used the moment to underline the connection to the European top while strengthening the team identity for the new campaign.
Why is RB Leipzig showing the kit now?
The kit release coincides with the renewed qualification for the Champions League. After missing out in the previous season, the club now returns to the biggest European stage. The officials see the new jersey as a symbol of the regained status and ambitions for the coming months.
Who will wear the new kit?
The new kit will be worn by the first-team players in the coming season. Especially the returnees and new signings will present the design for the first time in competitive action. The team that finished fourth in the previous Bundesliga season and collected 56 points will now also line up in the Champions League.
How is the squad situation currently?
Planning for the new season is underway, but some setbacks must be factored in. Assan Ouédraogo, Christoph Baumgartner and Ørjan Nyland are currently unavailable. Despite these absences, the club aims to make its mark in the Champions League and assert itself against Europe's top teams. The previous season ended for RB Leipzig with 17 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats with a goal difference of 56:36.
What is next for RB Leipzig?
The immediate task is already on the horizon. On Saturday, August 29, 2026, RB Leipzig hosts Borussia Mönchengladbach at home. The match against the 14th in the table is the next step after the Champions League return. Fans hope the team can start the season successfully with the new kit and continue the positive form of the last few weeks. The officials rely on the mix of experienced players and young talents to succeed both in the Bundesliga and internationally.
