The Club in Numbers

FC Bayern München was founded on 27 February 1900 and with 432,500 members is the world's largest sports club by membership.

The club was not among the founding members of the Bundesliga but has played in the top flight without interruption since the 1965/66 season — longer than any other current Bundesliga club.
