The 3rd Bundesliga will be the Third Division of football in Germany. The league will start in the 2008/09 season.

[edit] History

On September 8, 2006, the German Football Association announced the formation of the 3rd Bundesliga. At the end of the 2007/08 season, the two best teams from each of the two divisions of the Regionalliga will be promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. The eight best remaining teams in each of the two Regionalliga divisions will be promoted to the new 3rd Bundesliga, joining the four teams relegated from the 2007/08 2nd Bundesliga to form the 20 team division.

[edit] Division Set-up

In the first season the 20 teams will compete for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, while the bottom teams will be relegated to one of the new three divisions of the Regionalliga.
