[edit] Overview

The winners of the three Landesligas are automatically promoted to the Oberliga, the runners-up face a relegation play-off with the team of the Oberliga that is placed just above the relegation zone, usually the 15th placed team, for a final promotion spot. Since the start of the promotion play-offs in 1981, Landesliga Süd has won the extra spot 17 times, Landesliga Mitte 8 times and Landesliga Nord only 5 times. In 1985, 1994, 1996 and 2003 additional spots were available on top of the usual four.

The German word Landesliga can be pretty literally translated as "State League".

The three Landesligas cover the following areas:

Below the Landesligas there is the seven Bezirksoberligas, covering the above mentioned seven Bezirke. The winners of those gain promotion, the runners-up face a promotion play-off for a number of promotion spot which vary from season to season.

From 1945 to 1950, the Oberliga Bayern was called Landesliga Bayern. It was then the second tier of Southern German Football.
