The Kreisliga Schwaben-Ost is currently the eighth tier of the German football league system in the eastern region of the Bavarian Regierungsbezirk of Swabia (German: Schwaben).

Until the disbanding of the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben in 2012 it was the ninth tier.

The teams relegated from the Kreisliga have to step down to the Kreisklasse.

The Kreisliga Schwaben-Ost is fed by the Kreisklasses Schwaben-Aichach and Schwaben-Neuburg.

Until 2009, reserve teams of clubs in the league had to enter a parallel reserves division without promotion or relegation but have since been allowed to join the regular league system.
