How the Bundesliga could have nine teams in Europe in 2026/27
>>> How does European qualification work in the Bundesliga?
When a Bundesliga season starts, the distribution of European qualification places is as follows:
- Champions League (league phase): 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
- Europa League (league phase): 5th, DFB Cup winner
- Conference League (qualification play-off): 6th
However, that can and often does change over the course of the season.
For example, should the DFB Cup winners already qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via the Bundesliga, that extra Europa League berth reverts to the league.
The ‘European Performance Spots’ introduced with the revamp of UEFA’s competitions also mean two countries earn an extra Champions League qualifier each year.
