The first season started in August 1963 with 16 teams. 1. FC Köln won the inaugural title. 1970s – Bayern Munich's Rise: This decade saw Bayern Munich emerge as a dominant force, led by stars like Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, and Sepp Maier. Bayern won the league three times and also became European champions. Borussia Mönchengladbach was another strong team, winning five titles in the 1970s. 1980s – Competition and Tragedy: Hamburger SV and VfB Stuttgart claimed league titles.

RB Leipzig, backed by Red Bull, emerged as a controversial but competitive club. 2020s – Continued Bayern Dominance, Tight Title Races: Bayern continued their dominance, but Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen challenged them closely.
