The 2. Bundesliga is the Second Division of professional football in Germany. The 2. Bundesliga is ranked below the Bundesliga and above the 3. Liga in the German football league system. All of the 2. Bundesliga clubs qualify for the DFB-Pokal, the annual German Cup competition. A total of 123 clubs have competed in the 2. Bundesliga since its foundation.
The number of relegated clubs has
fluctuated over the years. Since 2008 two clubs are directly relegated
while the third-last team has the opportunity to defend its league place
in play-offs against the third placed team of the 3. Liga
A total of 18 teams contest the league, including 12 sides from the 2013–14 season, two sides directly relegated from the 2013–14 Fußball-Bundesliga season, and two sides directly promoted from the 2013–14 3. Liga season.
The two final participants will be determined in two-legged play-offs,
in which the 16th placed Bundesliga side will play the team who finished
third in 2. Bundesliga and the 16th 2. Bundesliga side will play the
team who finished third in the 3. Liga.
