Bundesliga season was the seventh season of the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of the German football league system. It was played in two regional divisions, Nord and Süd.

There were three promotion spots to the Bundesliga on offer, while the remaining teams would enter the new single league 2. Bundesliga in the next season. Werder Bremen, Eintracht Braunschweig and SV Darmstadt 98 were promoted to the Bundesliga while twenty two clubs were relegated to the Oberligas. Nord The 1980–81 season saw 1.

Bundesliga There was a sophisticated system for qualifying for the new single-division 2. Bundesliga. First, the clubs had to meet technical qualification criteria. These stipulated that the stadiums had to accommodate at least 15,000 spectators and had to be equipped with floodlights within a certain period of time. If these requirements were met, sporting criteria would come into play. The non-promoted teams in fourth place and above from the Nord and Süd divisions, along with the three relegated teams from the 1980–81 Bundesliga, automatically qualified. The other participants (teams from 5th to 16th place in the Nord and Süd) were determined by a so-called "placement number" (de Platzziffer). This was calculated from the positions achieved by teams in the last three seasons. The lower this number was, the better the club was placed. For the 1978–79 season, the table position was multiplied by one, the 1979–80 season by two and the current 1980–81 season by three. Seasons in the Bundesliga were tallied as zero. For Oberliga seasons in which teams did not achieve promotion, 20 points were added, and 16 points for seasons which teams were promoted. It was also important from which region the three relegated teams of the Bundesliga were from, as well as how many teams were promoted from the respective Nord and Süd divisions. At the end, 10 teams from the Nord and Süd divisions had represented in the next season. Teams in 17th and below from the Nord and Süd were relegated, irrespective of their placement number. There was no promotion for teams from the Oberliga going into the single-division season.http://www.spvgg-erkenschwick.de/index.php/historie/ergebnisse-tabellen/3956-saison-19801981 Saison 1980/1981 1980–81 season spvgg-erkenschwick.de SpVgg Erkenschwick 24 May 2019 German live https://web.archive.org/web/20190524220142/http://www.spvgg-erkenschwick.de/index.php/historie/ergebnisse-tabellen/3956-saison-19801981 24 May 2019 #BBF3BB Team promoted #FFFFBB Team remains in league based on league position #FFFFCC Team remains in league based on placement number #FFCCCC Team relegated based on placement number #FFBBBB Team relegated based on league position + Nord Pos Position Team Place Placement number 1 Werder Bremen 3 2 Eintracht Braunschweig 6 3 Hertha BSC 9 4 Hannover 96 33 5 Alemannia Aachen 36 6 Rot-Weiss Essen 36 7 Fortuna Köln 43 8 Union Solingen 48 9 SG Wattenscheid 50 10 VfL Osnabrück 52 11 Viktoria Köln 57 12 Preußen Münster 62 13 1.
