The Berlin Football Championship of VBB 1897/98 was the first under the Berlin Association ballgame teams (then under the name Association of German ballgame Clubs (VDB) firmierend) discharged Berlin Football Championship . The VDB was founded on September 11, 1897 as an alternative to the German Football and Cricket Association (DFuCB), in which internal disputes escalated. Six of the original eight teams finally competed in the first round of the championship, which began in November 1897 and was held in one division. After the end of the championship, two clubs were tied at the top of the table, which meant a decision-making round had to be held. Champion was the BTuFC Britannia 1892 , which could win both of its games.

The association decided after the round not to score the second game between Britannia and Fortuna and to repeat it on May 15, 1898. “As is well known, the decision of the association's board, according to which Britannia should be assigned two points for the second game against Fortuna, was reversed at one of the last federal meetings of the Association of German Ball Game Clubs, with the addition that a third game should take place. [...] Because of this result, a decisive match between Britannia and Prussia has become necessary, because both clubs now have 13 points. "
The BFC Favorit 1896 and the Friedenauer SC 1896 were also association members, but did not take part in this football championship.
Decision-making round
Since the first two teams were tied, playoffs were necessary.
