This is a List of clubs in the Bayernliga , including all clubs and their final placings from 1945–46 to the current season. The league, commonly referred to as the Bayernliga , is the highest football league in the state of Bavaria (German : Bayern ) and the Bavarian football league system . It is one of fourteen Oberligas in German football, the fifth tier of the German football league system . Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 it was the fourth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the third tier.
Overview
The league's history however traces back to 1945, after the end of the Second World War , when it was formed under the name of Landesliga Bayern as a tier-two league with nine clubs in it. From 1946 to 1948, it was split into a northern and a southern group but than, from 1948, reunited once more. In 1951, it changed its name to Amateurliga Bayern and became a tier-three league following the formation of the 2. Oberliga Süd above it. Two years later, the league was once more divided into two regional division, which remained in place until 1963. With the inception of the Bundesliga in 1963, the Bayernliga returned to a single-division format and, in 1978, the league changed its name to Amateur-Oberliga-Bayern . In 1994, when the Regionalliga Süd was formed, the league changed its official name once more, now to Oberliga Bayern , and became a tier four league.[ 1]
With the establishment of the Regionalliga Bayern in 2012, the league was split once more into a northern and a southern division.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Because the 2019–20 season was interrupted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Germany that broke out in March 2020, it was later suspended until 31 August, forcing a cancellation of the 2020–21 season as the Bavarian Football Association approved a resumption of the preceding one,[ 5] [ 6] which was curtailed in May 2021.
