Bundesliga
The Bundesliga is once again presenting the official Player of the Month award for the 2025/26 season. The vote has been conducted by the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga in cooperation with its official licensing partner EA SPORTS since 2018/19. Michael Olise beat Deniz Undav, Yan Diomande, Wouter Burger, Ibrahim Maza and Danilho Doekhi to take the title for November 2025.

The award consists of a two-stage process in which the performance data of the players and then the choice of the fans and experts are taken into account.
The main factor for considering a matchday is the month in which its Saturday falls. This time the data referred to Matchdays 9-12.
November winner
The term world-class almost doesn’t do justice to the quality of Olise’s performances in November. Against Freiburg on Matchday 11, he practically overturned a 2-0 deficit on his own, scoring twice and setting up three more goals. Five goal involvements in one match is extremely rare — the last player to do it was Harry Kane in his debut season in 2023/24, when he finished as Europe’s top scorer.
Despite coming off the bench twice as part of Bayern’s squad rotation, the 23-year-old remained an important pillar for the team. The 23 shooting chances he created for his teammates are all the more impressive given that he only started twice in November - putting him just one behind David Raum and Romano Schmid, both with a league-high 24. Olise’s influence is immense, whether he starts or comes on as an impact substitute.
Olise saw off competition from Deniz Undav, Yan Diomande, Wouter Burger, Ibrahim Maza, Danilho Doekhi to claim the prize for November.
