In the early years, three teams were promoted from the Bezirksligas, two from Oberbayern and one from Schwaben; from 1966, it was four clubs, two from each region.

In the early years, the league operated with a strength of sixteen clubs, occasionally dropping to fifteen.

The league strength now became more fluctuating due to the unpredictability of promotion-relegation play-offs, and it moved between sixteen and nineteen clubs.

The MTV Ingolstadt and TSV Rain am Lech qualified through this process as the third team.

The Bavarian football federation carried out drastic changes to the league system at the end of the 2011–12 season.

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

The two third placed teams in the two Oberbayern leagues had to play a decider, which Sportfreunde Pasing won 3–0 over FC Traunstein.

[9] The TSV 1860 Rosenheim holds the record for all three Landesligen with 1,833 points from 1,206 games in 36 seasons, of a possible 49 up to 2012, the final year of the league.
