Team-mate Eric Dier will also face his former club after the defender left for Bayern in January.
A statement on the Tottenham website read: “This mouth-watering curtain-raiser to the new season takes on extra significance, with the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, Harry Kane and long-serving defender Eric Dier having recently joined the Bundesliga champions.
“This will be a 12th meeting with Bayern in our history and only the fourth to have taken place on home soil.
“We memorably overcame the German giants on our way to UEFA Cup success 40 years ago.”
England captain Kane has been impressive in Germany this season, scoring 37 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions.
He leads the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 31 so far for Bayern, who currently sit second, 10 points off league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the table.
Last time Bayern and Tottenham met was in the 2019/20 Champions League group stage and Spurs were beaten 7-2 at home before Bayern won 3-1 in the reverse fixture.
