Format According to the promotion rules decided upon in 2019, the Regionalliga Südwest and West received a direct promotion spot. Based on a rotation principle, the Regionalliga Bayern also received the third direct promotion spot this season, while the Regionalliga Nord and Nordost champions played a promotion play-off.
