Nagelsmann has been tasked with extending Bayern's record streak of German titles to 10 in a row.
Borussia Dortmund starts its title challenge against Frankfurt on either Aug. 14 or 15 and Leipzig visits Mainz the same weekend.
The German Super Cup between Dortmund and Bayern is set for Aug. 17. Bayern visits Leipzig in the league on Sept. 11 or 12 and plays Dortmund away in the first week of December.
The second division starts with a clash between two former German champions as newly relegated Schalke hosts Hamburg on July 23.
