The Austrian Bundesliga, known as the Admiral Bundesliga for sponsorship reasons, is the top division of professional football in Austria. Founded in its current format in 1974, it is the pinnacle of the domestic game and is headquartered in Vienna. The league currently features 12 teams who play a regular season of 22 rounds, followed by a championship and relegation playoff split. The top six teams enter the championship round, playing each other once more, with points carried over, to decide the champion and European qualifiers. The bottom six fight in the relegation round, with the last-placed team relegated automatically. The league is historically dominated by clubs like Red Bull Salzburg, Rapid Wien, and Austria Wien. The Austrian champion enters the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Individual awards such as the Player of the Year, Top Scorer, and Rookie of the Year recognize the league's best talents.
