The Bundesliga is the highest level of Germany's football league system. The Bundesliga is composed of two divisions:

•  1. Bundesliga (although it is rarely mentioned with the First prefix), and, below that, the
•  2. Bundesliga (Second Bundesliga), which has been the second tier of German football since 1974.

Presently, at the end of the season, the bottom three teams of the Bundesliga are relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, and the top three finishers of the 2. Bundesliga are promoted to the top flight, where they will compete in the next season. Internationally, the most well-known German clubs include Bayern Munich, Hamburger SV, Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen.
