FC Kaiserslautern, Jahn Regensburg, SV Darmstadt 98, 1. FC Heidenheim and SV Sandhausen. At Heidenheim and Sandhausen, the calendar year 2021 was accounted for.

DFL boss Donata Hopfen had already spoken in February in the economic report for 2019/20 and 2020/21 of an “unprecedented turning point” due to the pandemic: “The time of almost normal growth seems to be over. There is no doubt that this will have a massive impact on our development over the next few years. Corona has already had drastic economic effects on the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 in the past two years. Unfortunately, this also applies to the current season – above all because the grandstands often had to remain empty again.”
Since most matches had to take place in the stadiums without fans, the gaming revenue in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga alone, which mainly comes from ticket income, fell by around 95 percent compared to the last pre-pandemic season. The total revenue of the 36 professional clubs fell to 4.05 billion euros in 2020/21, 1.3 billion euros were paid in taxes. Due to the “geopolitically increasingly uncertain situation” it is to be expected that the income from German-language media rights in 2021/22 will be lower than in previous years.
