History and Changes

1974-1992

The second Bundesliga has changed in composition, role and position in the German football league system several times in its short history. Firstly, earlier this level of football leagues was divided in two: there were the Second Northern and Second Southern Bundesliga. This situation continued until 1981, when both divisions were combined into one Second Bundesliga, consisting of 20 teams. With a brief break caused by the unification of Germany (season 91/92 with various special schemes), the Second Bundesliga currently exists without structural changes.

Present

Currently, the Second Bundesliga is the second level in the German football league system, and, like the first Bundesliga , is run by the DFL ( German Deutsche Fußball Liga - German Football League). 18 professional teams compete in a round robin system at home and away from opposing teams in 34 games. The champion team and the vice champion team will automatically transfer to the First Bundesliga. The third place team plays the home and away playoff match (away match) with the 16th place team in the First Bundesliga. Teams that took, according to the results of the season, the last (17th and 18th) places, must leave the Second Bundesliga, having moved to the Third League standings. The 16th-place team plays a home and away playoff match (relegation match) with the 3rd-place team in the Third League.

The difference between the sports levels of the First clubs and the leading teams of the Second League has decreased in recent years.
