The Second Fußball-Bundesliga 2008–09 was the 35th season of the Second Fußball-Bundesliga, the second tier of Germany's football league. The season began on 15 August 2008 and ended on 24 May 2009. SC Freiburg were the first team to win promotion to Bundesliga 2009–10 after securing the 2. Bundesliga championship on 10 May 2009.[1] 1. FSV Mainz 05 were also directly promoted as runners-up after a 4–0 home victory over Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. 1. FC Nuremberg defeated Bundesliga sides Energie Cottbus in a two-legged playoff for one spot in Fußball-Bundesliga 2009–10 and thus earned promotion as well.
[edit] Changes from 2007–08Starting with the 2008–09 season, only two teams are promoted automatically. Two-leg relegation playoffs between the third last team of the Bundesliga and the third team of the Second Bundesliga at the end of the regular season will be reintroduced. Likewise, instead of formerly four teams only the two bottom teams are relegated to the new 3rd Liga automatically. The third last team plays a two-leg playoff against the third team of the third tier over the remaining place in the Second Bundesliga.
