Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, on 8 March 2020 the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn recommended cancelling events with more than 1,000 people.[2] On 13 March, the DFB announced that fixtures on matchday 17 (13–15 March) were postponed.[3] On 16 March, it was announced that the league was suspended until 19 April.[4] On 3 April, the suspension was extended until 30 April.[5] A decision on the resumption of the competition, similar to the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, took place at an extraordinary meeting of the DFB-Bundestag on 25 May 2020.[6] During that meeting, it was announced that the season would be cancelled with two teams getting promoted and none relegated.[7]
