Competition modus
editEvery team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the three teams with the fewest points were relegated to their respective 2. Bundesliga divisions.
Team changes to 1978–79
editArminia Bielefeld, 1. FC Nürnberg and SV Darmstadt 98 were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last three places. They were replaced by Bayer Leverkusen, winners of the 2. Bundesliga Northern Division, TSV 1860 Munich, winners of the Southern Division and Bayer Uerdingen, who won a two-legged promotion play-off against SpVgg Bayreuth.
