Bundesliga

The Bundesliga is the premier football competition in Germany, consisting of 18 clubs competing for the German championship title from August to May in a round-robin format. The bottom two teams are relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, while the 16th-placed team can fight for survival through a playoff. Known for drawing large crowds and nurturing talent, the league is notable for its financial stability and the “50+1” rule, which ensures majority control for the clubs. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are among the most successful teams, symbolizing the intense competition and high quality of the Bundesliga.
