For the 2019–20 season, the German Hockey Federation introduced a new format.[4] The league was played by twelve teams grouped in two pools of six (Pool A and Pool B) based on the previous season's ranking. The teams of the same pool competed 2 times and faced the teams of the other pool once. The first four of each pool were qualified for the play-offs and the last two of each pool played the play-downs.

Uhlenhorst Mülheim are the two-time defending champions.[5]
