championship
A championship or competition in which the best player or the best team in a particular sport is determined. The term is often used for leagues or tournaments in English-speaking countries.
Der Verein spielt seit letztem Jahr in der englischen Championship.
The club has been playing in the English Championship since last year.
'Championship' is an English loanword that is used almost exclusively in a sports context. It often refers to specific leagues or tournaments from the English-speaking world, especially from the UK.
Er verfolgt jedes Spiel der schottischen Championship.
He follows every game of the Scottish Championship.
When talking about participation in this competition, the preposition 'in' is used with the dative. The correct form is 'in der Championship spielen' (to play in the Championship).
Die Mannschaft hofft, nächstes Jahr in der Championship zu spielen.
The team hopes to play in the Championship next year.
In English football, 'die Championship' (the Championship) often does not refer to the top league, but to the second-highest division. Winning the Championship leads to promotion to the Premier League.
Der Verein schaffte nach einer starken Saison den Aufstieg aus der Championship.
After a strong season, the club managed to get promoted from the Championship.
championship / mastery
Meisterschaft and Championship can both refer to a sports competition in which the best player or team is determined. Meisterschaft is the general German term, while Championship has a distinctly English character and is often used for English-speaking leagues or tournaments. In standard German text, Meisterschaft is usually the better choice; in the corresponding English-language context, Championship is also used.
Das Team gewann zum ersten Mal die Championship der englischen Liga.
The team won the English league championship for the first time.
Der Verein gewann zum ersten Mal die deutsche Meisterschaft.
The club won the German championship for the first time.
