About the Bundesliga
The Bundesliga is the top flight of professional club football in Germany, founded in 1963 as the country's first nationwide unified league. It is contested by 18 clubs and operates with promotion and relegation with the 2. Bundesliga. The league is known for its famous 50+1 ownership rule, which requires club members to retain a majority of voting rights, making it the most fan-owned top-flight league in European football. Bayern Munich dominate modern Bundesliga history, including a record 11 consecutive titles between 2013 and 2023.
