Early life
Urbig was born on 8 August 2003, in Euskirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.[2] His parents are Martina and Kurt Urbig, who played as a goalkeeper for the amateur football club TSC Euskirchen.
Club career
1. FC Köln
Having attended a try-out at 1. FC Köln,[3] he joined the club's youth academy in 2012. He went on to play for each of 1. FC Köln's youth teams.
Loan to Jahn Regensburg
In January 2023, Urbig joined 2. Bundesliga side Jahn Regensburg on a season-long loan.[4] He made his professional debut during a 2–0 loss against Darmstadt 98 with a bad performance. Nevertheless he became the club's starting goalkeeper for the rest of the season. Urbig returned to his parent club at the end of the 2022–23 season after Jahn Regensburg failed to avoid relegation to 3. Liga.[5]
Loan to Greuther Fürth
In July 2023, he extended his contract with 1. FC Köln until 2026, and joined 2. Bundesliga club Greuther Fürth on a season-long loan spell.[6]
Bayern Munich
On 27 January 2025, Urbig signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.[7] On 5 March, he was given his debut with the club in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, coming on in the 58th minute as a substitute for Manuel Neuer, and keeping 32 minutes a clean sheet during a 3–0 home victory over Bayer Leverkusen.[8] Three days later, he made his Bundesliga debut during a 3–2 home loss to VfL Bochum, although he was praised for his performance.[9] On 11 March, he had his first start in the UEFA Champions League, during a 2–0 away victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 second leg and performed well. [10]
In the following season, both Urbig and Neuer would share the goal, partly due to job-sharing, but mostly because of injuries from Neuer. Urbig had played in all three competitions, Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and UEFA Champions League, because Manuel Neuer had several injuries at that time. On 10 March 2026, he suffered a concussion during the 6–1 away win against Italian Serie A club Atalanta, in the first leg of the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League round of 16.[11] Urbig would return to the goal in the second leg however, which his side won 4–1 at home.[12]
International career
Urbig has represented Germany as a youth international starting with the country's under-17 team, and has featured for the under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 national teams.[13]
On 19 March 2026, Urbig would receive his first senior Germany national team call-up by head coach Julian Nagelsmann for the pre-World Cup friendlies against Ghana and Switzerland.[14] A week later, he left the national team as a precautionary measure due to a capsule injury to the right knee joint. Finn Dahmen, who was on standby, was called up to replace him.[15]
