Bundesliga is the most commercialized, innovative, and most-watched football league, which engages football fans from all over the globe. The league runs from August to May and operates on a promotion and relegation system, with most games played on weekends. Over the years, the organization & structure of the Bundesliga has undergone frequent changes.

Each of the 18 clubs plays against each other once in a home and away stadium.
