Promotion games to the Oberliga Süd 2014/15

The play-offs for the promotion between the Bayern league champions and the champions of the Regionalliga Süd-West did not take place because the EHC Eisbären Heilbronn did not accept promotion. The ERC Sonthofen is thus a sporty climber in the Oberliga Süd.
