List of clubs in the 2. Bundesliga

Add article description

This is a list of clubs in the 2. Bundesliga, including all clubs and their final placings from 1974–75 to 2022–23. The league is the second-highest football league in Germany and the German football league system. It replaced the Regionalligas as the second division in Germany in 1974. Initially played in a two-division format, north and south, it was merged into a single division in 1981 and has remained at this format ever since with the exception of the 1991–92 season, when the league was briefly split again to accommodate the influx of clubs from the former East Germany.
