The 2025–26 season of the Frauen-Regionalliga will be the 22nd season of Germany's third-tier women's football league.
As opposed to the 2024–25 season, 2025–26 sees only the Regionalliga Süd champion being promoted automatically, with the other champions determining the other two promoted teams in respective two-legged play-offs.[1]
Tiebreakers for league ranking
[edit]The following criteria are applied (in order from top to bottom) to determine the order of the teams in the leagues:[1]
- The total number of points;
- Goal difference in all league matches;
- Number of goals scored in all league matches;
- Total number of points obtained in head-to-head matches;
- Number of away goals scored in head-to-head matches;
- Number of away goals scored in all league matches;
If two teams are still tied after all the above criteria are applied, a play-off match is held at a neutral ground to determine the order.
Regionalliga Nord
