Below those, five Landesligas instead of the existing three were set, which were geographically divided to limit travel and increase the number of local derbies.

From the Landesliga level, the clubs placed ninth to 15th had the opportunity to qualify for the Bayernliga through play-offs.

FC Burgkunstadt managed to hold the league while FSV Bayreuth was relegated after losing to TuS Feuchtwangen.

It was later suspended until 31 August, forcing a cancellation of the 2020–21 season as the BFV approved a resumption of the preceding one,[10][11] which was curtailed in May 2021.
