The Bavarian ice hockey league season 2007-08 started on 19 October 2007 with the first round in the Bayernliga and finished on 14 March 2008 with the third league final. It saw the EHC Waldkraiburg take out its second Bavarian title, having previously won it in 1987–88, then under the name of VfL Waldkraiburg. The club could have taken up promotion to the Oberliga but declined. The EV Weiden voluntarily withdrew from the Oberliga while Regensburg was forced to resign from the 2nd Bundesliga due to insolvency.
The Bayernliga season saw the EC Ulm/Neu-Ulm fold after 16 rounds, unable to complete its schedule.
No team remained unbeaten this season, the ESC Kempten in the Bezirksliga West held the best record with 19 wins and one defeat. Two teams, both from the Bezirksliga, remained winless all season, the SG München and the TSV Trostberg II. For the latter, it was the second winless season in a row, having only ever won one game since joining the league in 2005.
The competition was played, as in the years previously, with 16 teams, with the top eight qualified for the championship play-off and the bottom eight having to play-down to determine the two relegated teams.
The first round of the play-offs was carried out in a best-of-five modus, after that it went to a best-of-three. The winner of the final is crowned Bayrischer Meister (English: Bavarian champions).
The first round of the play-offs was carried out in a best-of-five modus, after that it went to a best-of-three. The EC Ulm/Neu-Ulm did not play any games, all games were awarded to the opposition. The two teams in the final are relegated to the Landesligas.
The four regional divisions played out a home-and-away round to determine the two clubs from each league who enter the eight-team promotion round, The top two teams of this round gain promotion to the Bayernliga. Should one or more teams from this league move up to the Oberliga without a Bavarian team being relegated from there, additional clubs from that round may gain promotion.
The remaining six clubs in each league played out a relegation round with the last team in each of the four groups being relegated to the Bezirksliga.
From season to season, clubs can be moved between divisions to geographically balance out promotion and relegation. This explains, why three of the Landesligas have two newly promoted teams each while the western division has none in the 2007–08 season. The fact that six clubs moved up from the Bezirksliga to the Landesliga from the previous season results from the fact that four teams were promoted to the Bayernliga the previous season and therefore extra places were available to fill.
No points were taken from the first rounds competition. The bottom team in each group was relegated to the Bezirksliga, except the EK München, which was not.
