The 1986–87 Bundesliga was the 24th season of the Bundesliga, the premier football league in West Germany. It began on 8 August 1986^[1] and ended on 17 June 1987.^[2] FC Bayern Munich were the defending champions.

Competition modus

Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the two teams with the fewest points were relegated to 2. Bundesliga. The third-to-last team had to compete in a two-legged relegation/promotion play-off against the third-placed team from 2. Bundesliga.

Team changes to 1985–86

1. FC Saarbrücken and Hannover 96 were directly relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last two places. They were replaced by FC Homburg and SpVgg Blau-Weiß 1890 Berlin. Relegation/promotion play-off participant Borussia Dortmund won a decisive third match, which had become necessary after the regular two-legged series ended in an aggregated tie, against SC Fortuna Köln and thus retained their Bundesliga status.
