The 2019–20 Regionalliga is the twelfth season of the Regionalliga, the eighth under the new format, as the fourth tier of the German football league system.
Format
The same promotion format as in the previous season will be used.[1] According to the draw that took place on 27 April 2018, the Regionalliga Nord, Südwest, and Bayern champions will be directly promoted to the 2020–21 3. Liga, while the champions of the Regionalliga Nordost and West will play promotion play-offs to determine the fourth team to be promoted.[2]
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, all five of the DFB's regional associations announced the postponement of the scheduled Regionalliga matchdays in Bavaria[3] and the rest of the country on 12–13 March 2020.
The Regionalliga Südwest was cancelled on 26 May 2020. 1. FC Saarbrücken were declared champions and were promoted to the 3. Liga, while no teams were relegated and four teams will be promoted from the Oberliga, leading to an expansion of the league for the upcoming season.[4]
The Regionalliga Nordost was cancelled on 5 June 2020. Lokomotive Leipzig were declared champions and qualified for the promotion play-offs, while no teams were relegated based on sporting criteria and two teams will be promoted from the NOFV-Oberliga, leading to an expansion of the league for the upcoming season. Rot-Weiß Erfurt had been placed into administration on 29 January 2020 and was therefore relegated to the NOFV-Oberliga.[5]
The Regionalliga Bayern clubs voted on 4 June 2020 to extend their league season beyond September, which meant the Bavarian Football Association had to cancel the 2020–21 season and continue without Türkgücü München,[6] which the BFA registered for promotion to the 3. Liga. Thus, Bavaria will be represented by a team that wins a play-off series, to be held in the spring of 2021, among the top four teams at the end of the resumed Regionalliga Bayern season. They will have already submitted applications for 3. Liga licences. The Bavarian play-off winners will face the Regionalliga Nord champions for a place in the 2021–22 3. Liga.[7][8]
The Regionalliga West was cancelled on 20 June 2020. SV Rödinghausen were declared champions. Since they did not apply for a 3. Liga licence, second-placed SC Verl qualified for the promotion play-offs, while no teams were relegated based on sporting criteria and three teams will be promoted from the Oberliga, leading to an expansion of the league for the upcoming season. SG Wattenscheid had been placed into administration on 23 October 2019 and was therefore relegated to the Oberliga.[9]
Regionalliga Nord
18 teams from the states of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein compete in the eighth season of the reformed Regionalliga Nord. Hannoverscher SC was promoted from the 2018–19 Niedersachsenliga, Altona 93 was promoted from the 2018–19 Oberliga Hamburg and Heider SV was promoted from the 2018–19 Schleswig-Holstein-Liga.
