This is a list of the seasons played by VfB Stuttgart from 1909 when the club replaced the rugby club. In 1909 they joined the South German Football Association playing the second tier B-klasse. Because there is very little information about these leagues this list starts from 1912 when Stuttgart eventually advanced to the senior Südkreis-Liga. The club's achievements in all major national and international competitions as well as the top scorers are listed. Top scorers in bold and coloured background were also top scorers of the division. The list is separated into three parts, coinciding with the three major episodes of German football:
VfB Stuttgart have won the German football championship five times; two before and three after the establishment of the Bundesliga. The club also won the DFB-Pokal three times and the DFL-Supercup once.
The club have been relegated three times from the Bundesliga, in 1975, 2016 and 2019. In 1977, 2017 and 2020, the club was promoted back to first division football.
