Relegation play-offs

Since SpVgg Unterhaching won the promotion play-offs, two spots were available in the next Regionalliga Bayern season, which went to the two winners of the first round. Had Unterhaching lost the promotion play-offs, only one spot would have been available, requiring a second play-off round between the winners of the first round. To avoid waiting times, the participating clubs had agreed to play the second round regardless of Unterhaching's performance in the promotion play-offs.[12]
