Promotion play-offs

edit

For three of the five Regionalligas promotion play-offs were held for qualified Oberliga teams. The other two Regionalligas, Nordost and West, did not hold play-off rounds, instead they operated with direct promotion only.

Regionalliga Bayern

edit

The 15th and 16th placed Regionalliga teams, SpVgg Greuther Fürth II and SV Seligenporten, played the runners-up of the northern division and the third-placed team of the southern division. The winners of these games qualified for the 2016–17 Regionalliga, the losers played each other for one more spot in the Regionalliga after SpVgg Unterhaching was successful in winning promotion to the 3. Liga. The teams that qualified were runners-up Viktoria Aschaffenburg in the north and third-placed FC Pipinsried in the south as southern champions SV Pullach did not apply for a Regionalliga licence and runners-up FC Unterföhring were promoted.[45]

Regionalliga Nord

edit

Promotion play-offs were to be held at the end of the season to the Regionalliga Nord. The runners-up of the Niedersachsenliga and the champions or, in Hamburg's case, the best-placed team with a licence, of the Bremen-Liga, Oberliga Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein-Liga played each other for two more spots in the Regionalliga. In the promotion round each team met the other just once with the two highest-placed teams in the final table promoted, however the final two matches were deemed obsolete and played as friendly matches because the two promoted teams had already been determined.
