The Gauliga Württemberg 1937/38 was the fifth season of the Gauliga Württemberg in football. The championship was won by defending champion VfB Stuttgart , who first took the lead in an away win in Böckingen on March 6, 1938 and had a point lead in the derby that followed against the Stuttgarter Kickers . In front of 40,000 spectators, VfB defeated Degerloch 2-0 and secured the championship by three points. VfB thus qualified again for the final round of the German championship , where it was eliminated in the preliminary round this year. The relegation ranks went to Sportfreunde Esslingen and newcomer VfR Schwenningen . Last year's relegated team SpVgg Cannstatt and SV Feuerbach , who prevailed in the promotion round of the district class winners, made the direct return to the Gauliga .
