Robert Lewandowski struck twice as Bayern Munich wrapped up a record fourth successive Bundesliga title with a 2-1 win over Inglostadt.
Lewandowski's first-half double - his 15th-minute opener followed by a 32nd-minute penalty - set Bayern on course for their 25th Bundesliga crown.
And though Moritz Hartmann pulled one back before the break - also from the spot - the smaller of the two Bavaria sides were unable to find a leveller.
The result means Bayern, who were ousted from the Champions League in midweek, seal familiar glory with a game to spare - and have won an unprecedented four Bundesliga titles in a row.
Incoming Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola can yet sign off with the double when Bayern take on Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final on May 21 in Berlin.
"We've played brilliantly together," said forward Thomas Muller. "It's a great achievement to have won this title, particularly as Dortmund were the best runners-up in Bundesliga history.
"To have won four in a row is special. "It has never happened before, despite all the great teams who have played in the Bundesliga. It's a great relief to have done it."
It was second-placed Dortmund's 1-0 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt that ensured Bayern stretched their lead to an insurmountable eight points with one game left.
But it was a good day for fourth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach, who are set to qualify for next season's Champions League after their 2-1 comeback win at home to Bayer Leverkusen.
Chile midfielder Charles Aranguiz, who has spent most of the season out with an Achilles tendon injury, put Leverkusen ahead in the first half but Andre Hahn struck either side of the break for Gladbach.
Sixth-placed Hertha Berlin lost ground in their fight for the Champions League when they lost 2-1 at home to Darmstadt, whose striker Sandro Wagner scored the winner against his ex-club and was then sent off for a second booking.
Schalke, meanwhile, stay on course for a Europa League place after their 1-1 draw at home to Augsburg while Wolfsburg broke their seven-match winless streak, dating back to March, Luiz Gustavo heading in the only goal in the 1-0 victory over Hamburg.
At the other end of the table, VfB Stuttgart are in pole position to join Hanover 96 in the second tier after their 3-1 defeat at home to European hopefuls Mainz left them second from bottom.
Werder Bremen dropped to 16th, which means a promotion-relegation play-off at the end of the season, after their goalless draw with Cologne.
Relegated Hanover picked up only their seventh win of the season when Japan midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake slotted home to sink Hoffenheim 1-0.
