How Bundesliga works

Bundesliga is the top professional football league in Germany with the season starting in August and running until May (including a six-week winter break). The Bundesliga has 18 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the 2. Bundesliga (second-tier league). The top four teams in the Bundesliga standings qualify for the Champions’ League group stage. The last two Bundesliga teams at the end of the season are immediately relegated, while the third from last team plays a two-legged match against the third-place team from the 2. Bundesliga. The winner of this game takes the final place in the Bundesliga draw for the next season.
