Relegation play-offs

Ordinarily, the relegation play-offs are played as two-legged matches between the 15th and 16th-placed teams of the Regionalliga Bayern and the runners-up of the two Bayernliga divisions. However, since only one team from the 2023–24 Bayernliga Süd, Schwaben Augsburg, applied for a Regionalliga license, thereby gaining direct promotion, the three remaining teams played a single round-robin tournament instead, with the top two qualifying for the next Regionalliga season.^[10]

Promotion play-offs

The order of the legs was determined in a draw. The matches were scheduled for 22 and 26 May 2024, but since Würzburger Kickers qualified for the final of the 2023–24 Bavarian Cup, scheduled for 25 May 2024, the matches were instead played on 29 May and 2 June 2024.^[12]
