Away goals are not a tie-breaker. A level aggregate after the second leg means extra time, then penalties if needed.

FORMAT AND RULES

What decides the tie?

  1. The Bundesliga team finishing 16th meets third place from Bundesliga 2.
  2. Both leg scores are added; the higher aggregate wins the Bundesliga place.
  3. There is no away-goals tie-breaker.
  4. A level aggregate goes to two 15-minute periods of extra time in the second leg.
  5. If still level, the tie is decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Who hosts the second leg?

The team with fewer rest days after its final league match receives the second leg at home. If both teams have the same rest, the fixture order is drawn. That is why this page does not guess the home team before the pairing is confirmed.

What promotion or relegation means

The winner plays in the 2027/28 Bundesliga; the loser plays in Bundesliga 2. Clubs in 17th and 18th are automatically relegated and do not enter this tie.
