1926–27 KBUs Mesterskabsrække

The match schedule for the league's fall season was published on 21 August 1926 by the Copenhagen FA, one week before the first league matches.^[13] The season was launched on 28 August 1926 with two matches both played at Københavns Idrætspark — BK Fremad Amager against BK Frem and B 1903 against B.93.^[3][4][7] The game between BK Fremad Amager and BK Frem was the first official match in the local derby between the two rival working class teams, which was eventually won by the Amager-based club with the score 6–3.^[3][4] The Sundby-based club's squad fielded Bernhard Andersen and Knud Kastrup, who a few years earlier both were playing for BK Frem, while Harald Ahrensberg originally played for BK Borup and Otto Larsen, who last season had been playing for B 1908 and even earlier BK Frem.^[13] BK Frem's squad consisted of players such as Niels Hansen and Svend Hansen, who in the previous season had played for Handelsstandens BK, Knud Christoffersen, who had arrived at the Valby-based club from KFUMs BK, and Kay Madsen, who had previously played from BK Borup.^[13] The match between the same two teams, BK Fremad Amager and BK Frem, in the spring season on 20 March 1927 was on the other hand won by BK Frem with the score 11–2, which became the highest scoring during the entire season.^[3][4] Kjøbenhavns BK continues their years long first team policy of acquire players from other Fælled-based clubs and only fielding a few players, that had played on the club's youth teams.^[13]

BK Fremad Amager finished in the last place of the league in its debuting season of the Copenhagen Football Championship, which qualified the team to the promotion/relegation play-offs. The first play-off match was scheduled to take place on 16 June 1927, more than six weeks after the team's last league match on 1 May 1927. As preparation for the play-off match against the 1926–27 KBUs A-række winner, Handelsstandens BK, the club played several friendlies, which included matches against Frederiksborg IF on 18 May at Sundby Idrætspark (lost 2–3), against a selected team from Frederiksberg Boldspil-Union (FBU) on 27 May at Frederiksberg Idrætspark (lost 2–3), against a selected Amager team on 1 June (won 7–1) and against a selected team from Valby Boldspil-Union (VBU) on 10 June at Sundby Idrætspark (lost 7–5).^{[14][15][16][17]}

A total of six teams were contesting the league, including 5 sides from the 1925–26 season and one promoted from the 1925–26 KBUs A-række. Every 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 average. The team with the most points were crowned champions. The five regular teams (Danish: ordinære deltagere); B.93, B 1903, Akademisk BK, BK Frem and Kjøbenhavns BK, could basically not be relegated, while the sixth team with the status as an extraordinary participant (Danish: ekstraordinær deltager); BK Fremad Amager had to finish on the 5th place or higher in the final table to avoid qualifying for the promotion/relegation play-off match (referred to as Kvalifikationskamp by the Copenhagen FA) against the winner of KBUs second-tier league for a spot in the next season as the league's extraordinary participant.^[18][19][20]

The 6th-placed team of the 1926–27 KBUs Mesterskabsrække met the winners of the 1926–27 KBUs A-række for a spot in the next season of the KBUs Mesterskabsrække as the league's extraordinary participant. The rules, that had been implemented from the beginning of the 1923–24 season, were designed so that winners of the KBUs A-række had to obtain at least three points (two points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 points for a loss) over the course of two play-off matches in order for the team to gain promotion.^[25][19] The match was played on 16 June 1927 on the main football field of Københavns Idrætspark in clear and calm weather.^[18][26] Handelsstandens Boldklub fielded the following players in their line-up using a 2–3–5 formation: goalkeeper and captain Karl Christiansen, defenders Kai Petersen and Kaj Dihver, midfielders Viggo Kruse, Poul Jørgensen and Frederik Wieder, forwards Ole Olsen, Ejner Jørgensen, Otto Jørgensen, Henning Nielsen and Ejner Nielsen, while BK Fremad Amager published the following line-up before the match in the same 2–3–5 formation: goalkeeper Henry Schnabelrauch, defenders Frode Marte and Otto Larsen, midfielders Valdemar Henriksen, Knud Kastrup and Knud Petersen, forwards Henrik Selchau, Alf Olsen, Ernst Quick, Harald Ahrensberg and Bernhard Vilhelm Andersen (nicknamed "Bette").^[27][28] The starting line-up for the Amager-based team included four former national team players with two players actually having represented the club on a national level, with Knud Kastrup being the most recent player having played a national match 18 days earlier on 29 May 1927 away against Norway — leaving the average age of the squad much higher than that of the opponent.^[29][30] The first half was dominated by BK Fremad Amager, who scored four goals and Handelsstandens BK only one, while the second half was played more evenly.^[29][31] BK Fremad Amager won the first play-off match with the score 5–3 with all the team's five goals made by Ernst Quick and both clubs, therefore, remained in their respective tiers for the 1927/28–season — voiding the second play-off match.^[10][29]
