Bundesliga 2 Schedule and Rules

18 teams make up the Bundesliga 2, competing in a highly competitive division with top football, plenty of passion and some vociferous fans present for every single encounter. Each team plays the others home and away equating to a total of 34 games per club. The top two at the end of the season earn automatic promotion to the dizzy heights of the Bundesliga.

It’s with the play-offs that the Bundesliga 2 gets a little interesting. Rather than the teams finishing third to sixth making up the play-offs, the third placed team enters a play-off against the side to finish 16th in the top-flight. They play home and away in an always eagerly anticipated encounter. And as you’d expect from us at Parimatch, we bring you the best Bundesliga 2 odds for the play-offs, along with every other encounter throughout the season.

When it comes to relegation, the bottom two drop straight down into the 3. Liga, with the side in 16th facing a similar play-off with the third placed team from the third tier.

Previous Winners of Bundesliga 2

Some big names of German football have spent time down in the Bundesliga 2. Every league in Europe has that yo-yo side that deserves promotion but can’t quite cut it in the top-flight. And when it comes to the Bundesliga 2, that team is FC Koln. As of 2020/21, the boys from North Rhine-Westphalia hold the record for most Bundesliga 2 titles jointly with Arminia Bielefeld, SC Frieberg and FC Nurnberg – each on four titles. And they keep coming back down for more.

In fact, Koln were champions at this level as recently as 2018/19, while Arminia Bielefeld last finished in top spot in 2019/20. Other champions in recent years have included the likes of Stuttgart, Hertha Berlin, and Fortuna Dusseldorf. But as the lads from Koln will tell you, getting all the way to the Bundesliga doesn’t always guarantee safety the following season. If you’ve got a winner in mind come the end of the season, our Bundesliga 2 betting markets cover the Outrights, from the first kick-off to the final whistle of a gruelling, action-packed season.
