The top division of team wrestling in Germany is the Bundesliga (German: Bundesliga-Ringen). Since 1964, annual championships have been held by Bundesliga-Ringen; although no champion was declared during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each time a team competes, then a number of the matches will be contested by rules of Greco-Roman wrestling, and the rest of the matches will be fought by the rules of Freestyle wrestling.
The finals are typically held in February and consist of two rounds of matches in various weight classes, held on separate evenings.
For the 2025/26 season, the winner is SV Wacker Burghausen and the runner up is SV Germania Weingarten.https://www.sv-wacker.de/de/news/vereins-news/wacker-ringer-kroenen-sich-erneut-zum-deutschen-mannschaftsmeister/?returnToListName=News_Newsroom_Teaser_3371&returnToListPage=1&returnToModule=3371. sv-wacker.de.
