In addition to the domestic league, they also competed in this season's editions of the DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League, reaching the final of the latter competition for the first time in eleven years.
The season was the first since 2015–16 without Raphaël Guerreiro, who departed to join rivals Bayern Munich. It was also the first time a supporter was allowed to design the Borussia Dortmund home shirt.
