List of Arminia Bielefeld seasons

Arminia´s first team in 1911.

This is a list of seasons played by Arminia Bielefeld in German football, from their first competitive to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season.

The club was formed on 3 May 1905 as 1. Bielefelder Fußballclub (BFC) Arminia. The Fußballclub Siegfried Bielefeld joined Arminia two years later. On 7 July 1919, Arminia merged with the Bielefelder Turngemeinde 1848 and became known as Turngemeinde Arminia Bielefeld.
