The club play their national domestic league games in the BBL league and internationally in the Euroleague. The team's home arena is called, Audi Dome, which seats 6,700 spectators.

History

Bayern Munich has a long basketball tradition. Besides its most successful years in the 1950s and 1960s (German Championships in 1954, 1955, and German Cup in 1968), the club enjoyed remarkable popularity in 1956, when it even drew 40,000 fans to an open-air test game against Lancia Bozen, once a top basketball club from Italy. Later, in 1966, the club was a founding member of the German League.^[1]

In the following years, the club slowly, but surely, faded into obscurity, and in 1974, was even relegated to the German 2nd Division. For a long time after that, the club never completely recovered, and only had a few successful years (Bayern moved up to the German First Division in 1987, and stayed there until 1989).^[1]

In 2008, the declared goal of the team was to return to the club’s former glory, and return to the top German League, which it eventually did. In the near future, the club seeks to become a major force in European basketball, so that Bayern Munich will not only be well known for its football (soccer) operations, but also for its basketball operations as well.^[2] In the 2012-13 season the club reached the semi-finals of the Basketball Bundesliga, where it lost 3-2 against the reigning champions Brose Baskets, thus achieving qualification to the next season's Euroleague regular season for the first time.
