After Heidenheim successfully defended their Bundesliga spot and escaped relegation by winning the playoffs against Elversberg (Aggregate 4-3), we now know all the Bundesliga clubs for the 2025-26 season, which are as follows (in alphabetical order):
The two new teams are Hamburger SV and FC Koln, so fairly established clubs which are not new to the Bundesliga.
Any early predictions for the new season? I don't expect Bayern to have any serious competition, and I think Dortmund has the potential for the 2nd place.
You are right, last season was too much for Hamburger and FC Koln to qualify for this season but one thing that matters is improving from initial performance and now they're back on Bundesliga again, actually as Heidenheim was celebrating there successful defend on Bundesliga, Hamburger and FC Koln was also very happy to have made it this time, Holstein Kiel and Bochum has now gone back to take the place of Hamburger and FC Koln, hopefully if they are determined in the future we might see them qualify again to this league, next season might not be so different from what we saw on the teams. About the prediction I'm not but let me just keep Bayern Munich first as the top one next season then adjustment of prediction can be made if seen faulty to perform.
