Copenhagen Series (Danish: Københavnsserien[1]), also known as KS herre, KS serien and Københavnerserien, is the highest division for men organized by the regional association DBU København (KBU) and one of the fifth-highest divisions overall in the Danish football league system. The Copenhagen Championship league was introduced for the 1903–04 season under the auspices of Københavns Boldspil-Union (KBU) as a continuation of the previously held tournament for Copenhagen clubs organized by the Danish Football Association (DBU).[2] At the time of the league's introduction, its was placed at the top of the Danish football league system, but has since been moved to its current status as the fifth best level in Danish football, after a short period as the sixth best level.[2][3]
It has previously been known as Fodboldturneringen (1903/04-1905/06), A-rækken (1906/07-1919/20), Mesterskabsrækken (1920/21-1935/36), A-rækken (1936/37-1946/47), Københavnsserien A and Københavnsserien B (1947/48-1977), before settling with the current name of Københavnsserien beginning with the 1978-season.[2][3][4] In 1920, KBU's highest division, A-rækken was renamed Mesterskabsrækken, while the name A-rækken was retained for KBU's second highest division, comprising a first, second and third team tournament.[4] In 1936, KBU's highest division, Mesterskabsrækken, was dissolved as a result of the introduction to the double format to the nationwide leagues organized by the Danish Football Association (DBU), allowing KBU's previous second level league, A-rækken, to become the new highest division involving 16 first teams.[4]
Copenhagen Championship winners
The winner in a given season wins the Copenhagen Championship and is automatically promoted to the Denmark Series. The runner-up enters a home/away promotion playoff against teams from the highest leagues of the other regional associations for the right to enter the Denmark Series. Teams placing in the bottom are automatically relegated to either the Series 1, group 1 (first team), Series 1, group 2 (reserve teams) or Bornholm Series (teams belonging to DBU Bornholm).

Footnotes
- ↑ Between 1903 and 1912, there was no national championship playoff and the regional championships were the highest level, that the clubs could reach, so in principle level 1.
- ↑ Kjøbenhavns Boldklub and Boldklubben af 1893 were declared joint champions in the 1906/07-season after the teams finished level on points and no play-off match for the title was played.
- ↑ No final national playoff tournament was played due to World War I. The level for Zealand Series within the overall Danish football league system was kept this season.
- 1 2 In the summer of 1991, one of the several changes to the format of the Danmarksturneringen i fodbold, was the introduction of the Kvalifikationsligaen in the spring section of the season, which meant that the levels in the overall Danish football league system was dropped by one, while at the same time being increased by one in the autumn season. This tournament format lasted until the spring of 1995.
- 1 2 The Kvalifikationsrækken were introduced in the spring of 1998 by the Danish Football Association as a buffer zone between the higher ranking level's autumn-spring season format and the lower ranking level's spring-autumn season formats. This meant, that the Copenhagen Series within the overall Danish football league system was dropped by one level. The tournament was discontinued in the summer of 2008 and the level of the Copenhagen Series was increased.
