The 2022/23 football season offers a new window of opportunity for German football clubs. Eight Bundesliga teams would play in Europe, the highest for German clubs.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Europa League Final victory over the Rangers had meant that Germany would have five teams in the Champions League alone.

The usual four plus three saw an increase in participation since the creation of the UEFA Conference League.

So who are the German Bundesliga teams in European football for the 2022/23 season?
