List of Eintracht Frankfurt seasons explained

This is a list of seasons played by Eintracht Frankfurt in German and European football since 1920 when the club merged and introduced the name Eintracht for the first time. The club was founded in 1899. Eintracht Frankfurt have won the championship once, the DFB-Pokal five times and the UEFA Cup/Europa League twice.

The list details the club's achievements in all major competitions, and the top league goalscorer(s) for each season. For some seasons before 1963, the goalscoring information is incomplete but the player mentioned is almost certainly correct.

Attendance

Since the introduction of the Bundesliga in the 1963–64 season, Eintracht Frankfurt play their home matches at Waldstadion.

Remarks:

• In the period after the second expansion stage of Waldstadion (from 1953 until 1974) there are no official records about the maximum capacity. That is why the official capacity of this period is assumed as 81,000 which is Eintracht's record attendance achieved in a championship match versus FK Pirmasens on 23 May 1959.
• the coloured background displays:

Waldstadion II Waldstadion III Commerzbank-Arena Deutsche Bank Park I Deutsche Bank Park IIThe * marked capacity figures point out that the ground has been under renovation.
