Notes:
  1. VfL Gummersbach play high-profile matches which attract a large crowd at the Lanxess Arena.
  2. Füchse Berlin generally play at the Max-Schmeling-Halle, however, as this is a multi-use venue some matches may clash with other events and hence are moved to the O2 World Arena.
  3. Frisch Auf Göppingen's home venue EWS Arena is currently undergoing renovation/expansion works. In the meantime, all matches are played at Stuttgart's Porsche-Arena.
  4. TV Großwallstadt play in Großwallstadt, however, move to Aschaffenburg for high-profile matches.
