The <entity_2> was the 46th season of the <entity_12>, <entity_15>'s premier <entity_14> league. The season began on <entity_5> with a <entity_19>–<entity_19> draw between defending champions <entity_6> and <entity_10> and ended with the last matches on <entity_11>. <entity_7> secured their first national title in the last match after a <entity_18>–<entity_20> win at home against <entity_8>. Starting with the 2008–09 season, two-legged relegation playoffs between the third last team of the <entity_12> and the third team of the <entity_9> at the end of the regular season were re-introduced. FC Nürnberg, Hansa Rostock and MSV Duisburg finished the <entity_4> in 16th through 18th place, respectively, and therefore were relegated to the <entity_9>. They were replaced by the top three teams of 2007–08 <entity_9>: <entity_0>, <entity_3> and <entity_13>, respectively. Energie Cottbus, as the 16th-placed team, faced third-placed <entity_9> team <entity_20>. Nürnberg won both matches on an aggregated score of <entity_18>–0 and thus secured promotion to the <entity_1>, while Cottbus were relegated to the 2009–<entity_17> <entity_9>. After Energie were relegated, no teams from the former East <entity_15> played in the <entity_12> until RB Leipzig earned promotion to the <entity_12> for 2016–<entity_16>.
