The 1997/98 season is the 23rd season of the 2nd Bundesliga . The regular season began on September 13, 1997 and ended on February 28, 1998. The "postseason" with relegation and relegation rounds lasted from March 13, 1998 to April 25, 1998.
Before the start of the season, the league was divided into two seasons (north and south), each with twelve teams. The six best teams in the final table of the relays acquired the right to participate in a three-tier relegation round with the six worst teams in the 1997/98 basketball Bundesliga for promotion to the basketball Bundesliga (BBL). The six worst teams each took part in a relegation round. Two teams descended into the assigned regional leagues regularly per season. The results of the main round were taken into the relegation rounds.
