How the Bundesliga works

Every club plays 34 matches: 17 at home and 17 away. A win is worth three points, a draw one point and a loss zero, with all results contributing to one league table.

The highest points total wins the league. The bottom two clubs are directly relegated, while the club in 16th enters the promotion/relegation play-off. European qualification can vary with UEFA and domestic-cup outcomes.

How the standings work

A win is worth 3 points and a draw 1 point. All results feed into one Bundesliga league table. That table decides the champion and also shapes European qualification and relegation according to the competition's published rules. Clubs level on points are separated using the league's official tiebreak criteria.
