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 their respective Regionalliga divisions.

Team changes to 1970–71

Kickers Offenbach and Rot-Weiss Essen were relegated to the Regionalliga after finishing in the last two places. They were replaced by VfL Bochum and Fortuna Düsseldorf, who won their respective promotion play-off groups.

Notes:
  1. Bayern Munich played only the last match at this stadium.
  2. As Schalke 04 qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup, their UEFA Cup place was transferred to DFB-Pokal finalists 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
  3. Arminia Bielefeld were demoted by the DFB for playing a key role in the 1971 match fixing scandal. Their record (6 wins, 7 draws, 21 losses, 41–75 goals, 19 points) was expunged, though their final position would have remained the same.
