The 3rd league consists of four seasons, the composition of which was based on geographical considerations. A double round tournament is played in each season .

Two season winners of the 3rd division are promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. They are determined through playoffs of all season winners who are eligible for promotion. In two additional playoffs, the two losers in these playoffs determine the team that, as the third season winner, will play another place in the 2nd Bundesliga 2020/2021 against the third from bottom of the 2nd Bundesliga.

At the end of the season, the teams in the table positions 14, 15 and 16 of each season are relegated. If a club leaves the championship round prematurely, it will be counted towards the number of relegated teams in the respective season and cannot be promoted to the 3rd division in the following round.

At the end of the 2019/2020 season, 12 teams from each of the twelve top division areas will be promoted to the third division.
