2. Bundesliga 2026/2027

2. Bundesliga
DEU 2. Bundesliga League Format
2. Bundesliga is the second tier of German professional football, sitting directly below the Bundesliga. Founded in 1974, 18 clubs compete across a full home-and-away season, with the top two earning automatic promotion and the third-placed side entering a promotion play-off. The division is highly competitive and regularly features former Bundesliga clubs rebuilding alongside ambitious sides pushing for promotion. Hamburg SV, Hannover 96, and Kaiserslautern have all spent significant periods in the 2. Bundesliga, reflecting the unforgiving nature of German football's promotion and relegation system.
