As a result of winning the prior season's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, they took part in the German super cup, the DFL-Supercup, as well.

After their campaign was halted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bayern would return to action in May behind closed doors.

They then went on to win all sixteen of their season's remaining fixtures, capped off by a 1–0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, to secure a continental treble for the second time in club history, seven years after first accomplishing the feat in 2012–13.

With these victories ensuring Bayern had won all six competitions they took part in across the 2020 calendar year, the club thus joined Barcelona in 2009 as the only other side to accomplish this "sextuple" in the history of European football.
