Only upon the introduction of the all-Austrian ''Staatsliga A'' in 1949 did teams from the whole federal territory finally play for the Austrian Championship.

only a few days later a surprising turn took place – upon the request of Lower Austria, the introduction of the ''Staatsliga'' was finally and unanimously confirmed. The organisation was in the hands of the Fußballstaatsliga Österreich, created for this purpose. A ''Staatsliga B'', the second division of national league football, was formed in 1950. This league, however, was disbanded again in 1959, whereby the ''Staatsliga A'' dropped the ''A'' from its name, the need for differentiating having been gone. In 1965, however, the Austrian Football Association again took over the organisation of the top division, with the (second) introduction of the ''Nationalliga''. On 21 April 1974, against the vote of the Vorarlberg association, the introduction of the ''Bundesliga'' was decided. The ''Nationalliga'' remained as the second division, for now. Hanappi-Stadion

1974 to current

In the 1974–75 season the Bundesliga was introduced which, still led by the Austrian Football Association, aligned both of the highest divisions in Austria. In 1976, the ''Nationalliga'' was renamed to ''Bundesliga – Second Division'' while the ''Bundesliga'' was now called ''Bundesliga – First Division''. From 1974 to 1982 the league operated with ten clubs with each club playing the other four times during the season. From 1982 to 1985 it played with sixteen clubs with each club playing the others twice. The league's modus was changed in 1985 to a twelve team league which played a home -and away round in autumn. The top eight clubs then advanced to the championship round (Officially: ''Oberes Play-off'') who again played each other twice. The bottom four of the autumn round played the top four of the First League to determine the four teams to play in the Bundesliga in the following season. This modus was used for the next eight seasons until 1993 when the league returned to the ten team format it originally operated in. 26 years after dissolution of the independent Staatsliga on 17 November 1991, the Austrian Football Bundesliga was reconstituted as a federation and admitted on 1 December 1991 to the Austrian Football Association as its 10th member. Beginning with the 2018-19 season the league expanded from its current 10 teams to 12 teams.

Tasks and legal form

Since 1991 the Bundesliga has carried its own responsibility as a separate association, and organises the championships of the two highest divisions in Austria. Both are named after their sponsors; since 2014 the Bundesliga is named after sports-betting company,

. In addition the Bundesliga is responsible for the Toto Jugendliga, leagues for under 15/17/19 teams of professional clubs and academies. The Bundesliga also represents professional football in Austria, in co-operation with the football clubs themselves. The Bundesliga is legally a non-profit organisation. The twenty teams of the Tipico Bundesliga and the Sky Go Erste Liga constitute the members of the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga is represented by an acting executive committee, which supports a supervisory board. Each association of the two professional leagues is represented in presidential conferences; these have advisory function in all affairs concerning the Bundesliga.

Bundesliga

Format

In the Bundesliga, twelve teams play a double round-robin schedule, with each team playing every other once at home and away during the regular season. The league table is then separated into two parts, with the teams ranked first through sixth continuing into the Championship Round, and the remaining teams ranked seventh to twelfth competing in the Relegation Round. The points obtained during the regular season are then halved (and rounded down) before the start of the two playoffs. Each group of six teams play another double round robin schedule, with one home and one away game against each of their five opponents. At the end of the season, the team finishing top of the Championship Round is crowned champion of the Bundesliga. The team finishing in last place in the table in the Relegation Round is demoted to the Admiral 2. Liga, the champion of which is promoted in their place. Teams in the Admiral Bundesliga first division thus play 32 games in a league season between August and May.

Tiebreakers

In the event of two teams having the same number of points, tiebreakers to determine league position are as follows: # Head-to-Head Match Statistics (Number of points, Goal difference, goals scored) If several teams are equal on points, an internal table of all head-to-head matches will be created. # Higher Goal Difference # Higher Number of Goals Scored # Higher Number of Victories # Higher Number of Away Victories # Higher Number of Goals Scored in Away Games
