The 2020–21 Regionalliga was the 13th season of the Regionalliga, the ninth under the new format, as the fourth tier of the German football league system.
Format
A new promotion format was decided on in 2019. From this season onward, the Regionalliga Südwest and West receive a fixed promotion spot. A third promotion spot rotates between the other three divisions, with the remaining two champions participating in play-offs for a fourth spot. A draw has determined that the Regionalliga Nordost receives the third direct promotion spot this season.[1]
Regionalliga Nord
22 teams from the states of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein competed in the ninth season of the reformed Regionalliga Nord. VfV Hildesheim and Atlas Delmenhorst were promoted from the 2019–20 Oberliga Niedersachsen, Teutonia Ottensen was promoted from the 2019–20 Oberliga Hamburg, FC Oberneuland was promoted from the 2019–20 Bremen-Liga and Phönix Lübeck was promoted from the 2019–20 Schleswig-Holstein-Liga.
As the league expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic, the league was split into two regional groups. The five best teams from each group were supposed to qualify for a championship round, with the other teams qualifying for a relegation round.[2] The relegation rules were not announced.
On 8 April 2021, the clubs voted to abandon the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and declare the third-best team by points per game, TSV Havelse, participants in the promotion play-offs, since Weiche Flensburg and Werder Bremen II did not apply for a 3. Liga license. No teams are supposed to be promoted to or relegated from the Regionalliga.[3] The abandonment was confirmed by the Northern German Football Association (NFV) presidium on 20 April 2021.[4] No teams were relegated to or promoted from the Oberliga.[5] On 18 May 2021, the NFV presidium announced that it has made an official decision on who would participate in the promotion play-offs. First, the top teams of each group that applied for a 3. Liga license, Teutonia Ottensen and TSV Havelse, were determined. Then, with involvement from the two clubs, the NFV presidium decided to nominate TSV Havelse for the promotion play-offs.[6]

Regionalliga Nordost
20 teams from the states of Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia competed in the eighth season of the reformed Regionalliga Nordost. Chemnitzer FC and Carl Zeiss Jena were relegated from the 2019–20 3. Liga. Tennis Borussia Berlin was promoted from the 2019–20 NOFV-Oberliga Nord and FSV Luckenwalde was promoted from the 2019–20 NOFV-Oberliga Süd.
On 24 March 2021, the clubs unanimously voted to abandon the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany and declare Viktoria Berlin champions.[12] This decision was confirmed by the Northeastern German Football Association presidium on 16 April 2021, which also decided that one team would be relegated and the league size limited to 22 teams for the next season, which meant that a second team would have been relegated had three teams been relegated to the Regionalliga Nordost.[13]
