Format
The season starts in August or September and is interrupted by the indoor hockey season from November to March. From April the outdoor season will be continued. Since the 2011–12 season the league was played by twelve teams who played each other twice and who competed for four spots in the championship play-offs. The number one and four and the number two and three played each other in the semi-final and winners qualified for the final where the winner was crowned champion. The two last-placed teams were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. [2]
For the 2019–20 season the German Hockey Federation introduced a new format.[3] The league is played by twelve teams grouped in two pools of six (Pool A and Pool B) based on the previous season's ranking. The teams of the same pool compete 2 times and face the teams of the other pool once. The first four of each pool are qualified for the play-offs and the last two of each pool play the play-downs.
The quarter-finals of the play-offs are played in best-of-2 according to the following scheme:
- Series 1: 1A/4B
- Series 2: 2B/3A
- Series 3: 1B/4A
- Series 4: 2A/3B
