Bundesliga

The Bundesliga is the top professional football (soccer) league in Germany. Established in 1963, it features 18 teams that compete annually for the championship title. The league typically runs from August to May, with each team playing 34 matches—each team facing every other team twice, once at home and once away. The Bundesliga is known for its high level of competition, strong fan support, and a strong financial model that helps ensure clubs remain competitive. The league also emphasizes youth development and is known for producing top-quality players. The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the champion, while the teams finishing at the bottom of the table may face relegation to the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of German football. The Bundesliga is widely regarded as one of the best football leagues in the world.
