This is the shortest of any top-flight league, the Bundesliga has 18 clubs not 20, and it’s the quickest to complete of any major league. All of the Bundesliga DLS logos below are 512×512 PNG images at a direct URL, which you can simply drop into Dream League Soccer. This season three of them are new.

Copy a Bundesliga DLS logo

It would be a good afternoon’s work to write 18 badges, so it’s good to use the copy-all button above! Allows you to import all the league onto your clipboard at once.

All of the above is 512×512 PNG with transparent background. The size requirement of 512×512 is due to the size of the game.

What changed in the Bundesliga for 2026/27

Three clubs rose and three fell and one of the risings was historic.

After three years in the second tier, it’s back again with the lads from Schalke 04 and the badge will be in demand. There are hardly any German clubs which have the support of such a large following, either at home or abroad.

The new name is, however, really that of SV Elversberg. They are playing their Bundesliga debut with a crest that has not been featured anywhere on a Bundesliga crest list before, as they are the 59th team to join the Bundesliga. It’s not because anyone forgot about it, but rather, there hadn’t been a Bundesliga badge like Elversberg’s until this August.

It’s been six years since their last appearance and SC Paderborn 07 return for the three.

But how Paderborn “came up” is another story. With extra time, they beat Wolfsburg 2-1 to send Wolfsburg downwards for the first time in the club’s history. Wolfsburg had played in the Bundesliga since their promotion in 1997 and would play together for 29 straight seasons. Heidenheim and St. Pauli were also knocked out.

Bayern Munich will retain their title won in a 4-2 victory over Stuttgart on Matchday 30 of the season, which runs from 28 August 2026 to 22 May 2027.

If a Bundesliga logo list still features Wolfsburg, Heidenheim or St. Pauli, then it’s a season late.

German crests are the wordiest in Europe

This is something that no one tells you about German badges, and it’s why some look great in DLS and others look like a smudge.

German clubs placed their documents on the crest. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. 1. FSV Mainz 05. Bayer 04 Leverkusen. BVB 09. This badge has the complete club name around the border of the badge of Bayern. You don’t see it on the crests in England or Spain, where animals and shields hold up the formal titles, but on the badge is printed right there the founding years and formal titles.

All those letters can be easily read on your t-shirt. It’s been removed from the match in HUD, the part that’s next to the score. Not blurry, gone. A grey circle in place of the text.

Shape news is much improved. Every Bundesliga crest is typically round and Dream League Soccer cuts their badges in a circle. Both sides in a game lose nothing at all, what you upload will be on the kit! This is contrasted with a league of pointed shields, in which the crop is stealthily decapitated.

The ones to watch are Werder Bremen. They have a crest that is a diamond and a diamond has corners exactly where a circle doesn’t. It still works, but it gives up more of itself to the crop than a round badge does.

Add those together and the Bundesliga will be the most well-balanced and poorly lettered league in Europe for this type of game. The general rules on the crop are in the circle crop section of the main guide.

Bayern and Dortmund

These two hold 90% of the demand for German badges with Leverkusen coming in third being clear since their title season. Other websites will provide you with a precise percentage split. We don’t, because there is no public data to back those numbers up and because it would give you no useful information if you were to just make up numbers.

Dortmund’s round yellow (and black) crest remains unchanged and is near perfect for DLS. There is no trimming here since there is strong contrast, shapes are simple and the outline is round.

Before taking a copy of one of the old lists, take a second look at Bayern’s badge. Sometimes a crest is added to a club’s anniversary marking it for just one season and sometimes a badge is right one year and then wrong the next year. The current design above is located at the URL in the grid.

Former Bundesliga clubs

Badges which have been relegated still import fine. Dream League Soccer will process any 512×512 URL and will be oblivious to the division a club is in.

It’s St. Pauli that people are always asking for. The identity of the skull and crossbones goes well beyond their league level and many players wish to have this badge, regardless of the level of the club. Older names, too, are here: Wolfsburg and Heidenheim.

They are not in the main grid as they will keep the 18’s correct for the season, not because of any problems with the files.

Why the Bundesliga has 18 clubs

There were 20 clubs in the top leagues of England, Spain, Italy and France since they were established in 1965, and Germany used to use 20.There are 20 Clubs in the Top Football leagues in England, Spain, Italy and France since 1965 and Germany used to have 20 Clubs as well. With fewer clubs, there will be fewer fixtures and that’s how we get the winter break.

The most interesting difference is in the relegation system. Seventeen and eighteen fall off. Rather than a two-legged playoff, 6th doesn’t — they play a two-legged playoff with 3rd. The Bundesliga is the designation of the winner.

This season will be a pure example of that. Paderborn came third in second tier, defeated Wolfsburg in the play-off and traded places with them. If there had been no rule, then Wolfsburg wouldn’t have fallen from a Bundesliga team and Paderborn would.

For a DLS player, it’s easy, 18 badges to collect, as opposed to 20, and one of those 18 changes hands by play-off most seasons.
