Football in Germany
The top flight in Germany was introduced in 1963 and is one of the newer top-tier leagues in Europe. The Bundesliga has grown into one of the biggest leagues, featuring top teams such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Along with the Bundesliga is the highly popular DFB-Pokal, the main domestic cup competition involving 64 national teams, including clubs from the fourth tier. The winner of the DFB-Pokal meets the Bundesliga champions the following year for the German Supercup title.
Bayern Munich are Germany's all-time most successful club for both league and cup titles. There are also places up for grabs in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League through league and cup competitions in Germany.

German Football Betting 2024/25
There was a huge surprise in the 2023/24 Bundesliga, as Bayer Leverkusen won their first league title by going undefeated throughout the entire campaign. This means that the Bundesliga odds for the 2024/25 season will focus on them as reigning champions.
Bayern Munich are the favourites to win the 2024/25 Bundesliga title, leaving Bayer Leverkusen as the second favourites. It will be worth keeping an eye on the dates for the potentially title-deciding clashes between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, while Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, known as Der Klassiker, is also a highlight of the season.
St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel are the two new clubs battling for survival in this season’s Bundesliga. Look for those among the front-runners in the relegation Bundesliga betting odds. Teams like Stuttgart, Union Berlin, Frankfurt, and Leipzig will be hoping to push for European tournament places.
The top Bundesliga clubs are also the front-runners in the DFB-Pokal football odds. Bayer Leverkusen are the reigning champions after beating Kaiserslautern in last season’s final. Leverkusen meet league runners-up Stuttgart in August’s DFL-Supercup.
For further football bet options, you can find football betting options on what silverware a team will earn, like a ‘Bayern Munich Bundesliga and Champions League’ double or another ‘Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal’ double. The DFB-Pokal Final is held at the end of the domestic season in May.
