history

mode

With the regional league reform in 2012, the regional league was increased from three to five leagues. Since then, these have been the North , Northeast , West , Southwest and Bavaria leagues . The league is hosted by the Southwest Football Regional Association and the South German Football Association (with the exception of the Bavarian Football Association ). It extends over the federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate , Saarland , Hesse and Baden-Württemberg .

The five regional leagues since 2012/13 (Regionalliga Südwest in purple)

From the 2012/13 to 2017/18 season, the champion and the runner-up took part in the promotion round to the 3rd division . The runner-up was taken into account because six teams were needed for the promotion round and because the region of the Regionalliga Südwest then and now has the largest number of teams and members of all five regional leagues. For the 2018/19 to 2020/21 seasons, there is a rule that only the champion will be promoted directly to the 3rd division, there will be no promotion for the runners-up. The relay strength in the 2019/20 season is 18 teams. There are a total of four promoted teams from the leagues below the Regionalliga Südwest: from the upper leagues of Rhineland-Palatinate / Saar , Hesse and Baden-Württemberg , one team, usually the champions, is promoted; the three runners-up play a fourth climber.
