Unlike the GFL, there are no inter conference games and no GFL2 champion is determined.

Below the GFL2, six Regionalligas, Regional Leagues, are set, North, South, West, Central, East and Southwest.

The league was formed as the 2nd American Football Bundesliga in 1982, consisting of 16 clubs in three regional divisions.

[2] Promotion to the GFL2 is achieved through the promotion round of the best Regionalliga clubs whereby the champions from the south plays the runners-up from central division and the champions from central the runners-up from the south.

The winners of these two contests earn a place in the southern division of the GFL2 for the following season.
