Czech Republic football league system

The Czech Republic football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in the Czech Republic.

Below shows how the current system works.

For each division, its English name, official name or sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given.

Each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above them and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below them.

Two clubs are relegated and promoted from the Czech First League and Czech National Football League respectively each season.

One club is promoted from both the ČFL and the MSFL to replace the two relegated teams from the Czech National Football League.

Winners of Czech Divisions A, B and C are promoted to the ČFL and winners of Czech Divisions D, E and F are promoted to the MFSL.

Depending on the regional locations of the teams relegated from Czech 2.

Liga the number of teams promoted and relegated from the ČFL and MFSL can vary from season to season.

Promotion from 5th to 4th level not necessarily follows the path in the table below (this is mainly the case of Central Bohemian Region), teams are placed to particular divisions according to their location/FA decision.

Clubs from Bohemia (regions below Divisions A/B/C) can't play with clubs from Moravia-Silesia (Divisions D/E/F) though.
