[edit] Changes from 2007-08

Starting with the 2008-09 season, two-leg relegation playoffs between the third last team of the Bundesliga and the third team of the Second Bundesliga at the end of the regular season will be reintroduced.

Due to the restructuring of European competitions, the third-placed team will now enter a separate qualifying round for non-champions. The fourth-placed team and the winner of the 2008-09 DFB Cup will enter the 2009-10 UEFA Cup at the fourth (and last) qualifying round. The fifth-placed team qualifies for the third qualifying round. The sixth-placed team will not qualify for European competitions (unless via DFB Cup) as the UEFA Intertoto Cup will not be continued after its final edition 2008.
