A total of 18 teams participated in this edition of the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart and Hannover 96 were relegated to 2016–17 2. Bundesliga. Former Bundesliga champion Stuttgart were relegated to the second level after 39 years, whereas Hannover 96 finished a 14-year stint in the top level. They were replaced by 2. Bundesliga champion SC Freiburg and 2. Bundesliga runner-up RB Leipzig. Freiburg immediately returned to the Bundesliga, whereas RB Leipzig made its debut. Finally Eintracht Frankfurt, 16th of Bundesliga faced 1. FC Nürnberg, third of 2. Bundesliga in a Bundesliga play-off. Eintracht won 2–1 on aggregate and remained in the top level.

RB Leipzig was the first team from the former East Germany to play in the Bundesliga since the relegation of Energie Cottbus after the 2008–09 season.
