Current mode
From the 2018/19 season , 16 clubs will play in the 2nd division. The championship is divided into an autumn and spring season. This means that every team competes twice against every other team in the course of a season. Thus, a championship year extends to 30 rounds with eight games each.
The champions of the 2nd division are promoted directly to the Bundesliga , in return the bottom of the table in the “qualification group” of the Bundesliga is relegated to the 2nd division. The bottom three of the 2nd league must relegate to the respective regional league, although there are just as many direct promoters from the regional leagues.
Up until the league reform in 2018, a regional league champion rose, while the two remaining regional league champions played in a play-off for the second promotion spot.

Name history
With the reintroduction of a joint national second division in 1974, this took over the name Nationalliga from the first division, which from that point on was called the Bundesliga . However, this name only lasted for one season and the league was eventually renamed 2nd Division . In the course of the abolition of the play-off mode and the introduction of the Bundesliga as the top division in 1993, the name was extended to the 2nd division of the Bundesliga . At that time the league was also known colloquially as the 2nd Bundesliga. The second division was finally reformed in 1998, changing the name to First Division . In 2002, the Austrian electronic chain Red Zac was won as a league sponsor , so that from the 2002/03 season onwards, the division , which had been known as the First Division , was named Red Zac-First League . In spring 2008, the Austrian retail chain ADEG was won as a competition sponsor, and the first league was renamed ADEG Erste Liga with the 2008/09 season . From the 2010/11 season to the 2013/14 season there was no title sponsor and the league was called "Today for Tomorrow" First League . For the 2014/15 season , Sky Austria became the new competition sponsor and the league has been operating as Sky Go Erste Liga ever since . Since the reform of the Bundesliga in the 2018/19 season, the league has been called the 2nd division , with the sponsor name HPYBET 2nd division.

First forerunners
Historically, the first league is not a new idea, it had already existed as a single-track second class when the Austrian football championship was introduced in 1911 by the ÖFV and was converted into the professional II. League in 1924 . At that time, however, the Austrian football championship was limited to the Vienna area.

With the introduction of a national football championship in the 1949/50 season , at the end of the individual championships in the federal states, a promotion relegation was established between the regional champions from Burgenland, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Styria, preliminary round relegation of the regional champions from Tyrol or Vorarlberg and the Tauern League ( Carinthia and Salzburg) played in two groups of three. The first placed from these groups of three was qualified for the state league A, the second placed for the state league B and the last had to play again in his national league. The champion of the Vienna League was directly eligible for promotion. In the following transition season 1950/51 the League B (also State League B ) was created. This extended geographically to Burgenland , Lower Austria , Upper Austria , Styria , Tyrol and Vienna , clubs from Carinthia , Salzburg and Vorarlberg could not qualify.

With the increase in the second stage to twelve clubs, the mode of a round trip round in autumn and a simple first round in spring was played for the first time in the 2006/07 season . This meant that the clubs met for the first time in a championship three times, with the award of home rights in the simple round after the placements of the previous season.
During this time, the three last-placed clubs rose from the first division to the regional leagues , while the champions of the third level moved up to the second division. Only the respective champions of the regional leagues were entitled to promotion to the first league, provided that a license was granted by Senate 5 of the Bundesliga. If a club was refused a license for economic reasons, the top-ranked of the alleged relegated members remained in the higher-ranking league, as the runner-up in a regional league basically had no right of promotion.
While the first league was played with twelve clubs, second teams of the Bundesliga clubs were allowed to participate in that. During this time the Red Bull Juniors and Austria Wien amateurs played in the first division.
The 2009/10 season , however, was the last in which the first division was played with this mode. At the end of this season it was again reduced to ten clubs, whereby the second teams in the Bundesliga had to be relegated to the respective regional league and no second team from the regional league was allowed to be promoted to the first division.

With the renewed reduction to a division of ten, the relegation mode was adjusted again. The tenth of the first division had to relegate to the respective regional league. The penultimate played in a relegation against relegation. Here, the club from the first division and a regional league champion as well as the remaining two champions of the regional leagues played against each other in a return match. The two winners of the relegation played in the first division in the following season and the two losers each in one of the regional leagues. If the champion of a regional league was not eligible to play in the first division, the top-ranked club in this regional league took its place in the relegation. So who played ESV Parndorf in the 2009/10 season in place of FC Waidhofen / Ybbs in the relegation.
According to the decision of the ÖFB, the relegation for the penultimate of the first division was abolished in the 2014/15 season and the current mode with two permanent relegators was introduced. Since then, a regional league champion has been promoted to the first division and only the two remaining regional league champions play in a play-off for the second promotion spot.
