Direct promotion

No team from the Regionalliga West or Ost applied for promotion,^[9] therefore the promotion play-offs were cancelled. Instead, only one team, the Regionalliga Mitte champion, was promoted to the Austrian Football First League.

Relegation play-offs

In relegation play-offs for the Regionalliga Ost, SKN St. Pölten II, as the worst placed second team in the East, had to compete against SV Mattersburg II since only four amateur teams are allowed in the regional league.^[10]
