The2020–21 Regionalliga was the 13th season of theRegionalliga, the ninth under the new format, as the fourth tier of theGermanfootballleague system.
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]
22 teams from the states ofBremen,Hamburg,Lower Saxony andSchleswig-Holstein competed in the ninth season of the reformed Regionalliga Nord.VfV Hildesheim andAtlas Delmenhorst were promoted from the2019–20 Oberliga Niedersachsen,Teutonia Ottensen was promoted from the2019–20 Oberliga Hamburg,FC Oberneuland was promoted from the2019–20 Bremen-Liga andPhönix Lübeck was promoted from the2019–20 Schleswig-Holstein-Liga.
As the league expanded during theCOVID-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 thepromotion play-offs, sinceWeiche Flensburg andWerder 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 theNorthern 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]
