Following an offline test phase in the previous season,[5] the video assistant referee system was used for the first time in the Bundesliga on a trial basis following approval from IFAB.[6]
Bayern Munich were the defending champions and won their 27th Bundesliga title on 7 April with five games to spare, winning a sixth consecutive title for the first time in their history.[7][8] 1. FC Köln and Hamburger SV were relegated at the end of the season, with Hamburg therefore losing their status as the only ever-present team in Bundesliga history.
