Modus

The northern and southern divisions of the Bayernliga consist of 18 clubs each. Clubs in each division will play each other in a home-and-away format with no league games played between clubs from different divisions during the regular season. The champions of each division are directly promoted to the Regionalliga, subject to fulfilling the licensing regulations of the later with no overall Bayernliga championship game being played between the two league winners. The runners-up of each league take part in promotion round with the 16th and 15th placed clubs in the Regionalliga. The four clubs play for one more spot in the Regionalliga in 2016–17 unless the Regionalliga champion wins promotion to the 3. Liga, in which case two spots in the league may become available. Should the champions or runners-up not receive approval for a Regionalliga licence the direct promotion and play off spots will be passed down to the highest placed club with a licence approval.[7]

The bottom teams in the northern and southern divisions are directly relegated while the 15th, 16th and 17th placed teams from both divisions take part in the relegation play offs with the five Landesliga runners-up.[7] Originally the 14th-placed Bayernliga with the lesser points, SV Erlenbach, was also scheduled to enter the relegation round but this was changed on the day of the draw for the round to avoid potentially having two Bayernliga divisions with seventeen clubs each, thereby assuring Erlenbach of a place in the Bayernliga for the following season.[8]

Of the 36 clubs in the league ten applied for a Regionalliga licence for 2016–17 by 11 April 2016, the required date for clubs to hand in their application. The ten clubs consisted of five from the northern division, Großbardorf, Seligenporten, Bayern Hof, Weiden and Aubstadt, and five from the southern division, Garching, Heimstetten, Rosenheim, Sonthofen and Unterföhring. Notable clubs that were in contention for promotion at the time but did not apply were VfB Eichstätt and SV Pullach.[9]

Promotion play-off

A promotion/relegation play-off will be held at the end of the season for both the Regionalliga above and the Bayernliga.[8]

To the Regionalliga

The 15th and 16th placed Regionalliga teams, Viktoria Aschaffenburg and FC Augsburg II, played the third-placed teams of the northern and southern divisions. The winners of these games are qualified for the 2016–17 Regionalliga, the losers played each other for one more spot in the Regionalliga after Jahn Regensburg was successful in winning promotion to the 3. Liga.[7][8] The third placed teams that qualified were SpVgg Bayern Hof in the north and TSV 1860 Rosenheim in the south as the runners-up of the two Bayernliga divisions did not apply for a Regionalliga licence.[10]

To the Bayernliga

The second placed teams of each of the five Landesliga divisions, together with the 15th, 16th and 17th placed teams from the two Bayernligas enter a play-off for the remaining three places in the 2016–17 Bayernliga. The eleven teams will be split into three groups with group winner earning a Bayernliga place for the next season.[7][8][11] With the promotions of Jahn Regensburg and TSV 1860 Rosenheim to 3. Liga and Regionalliga Bayern respectively, an interdivisional play-off determined the last participant for next season. Group losers ASV Burglengenfeld, SV Erlbach and VfL Frohnlach were supposed to play in a single round-robin, but Burglengenfeld declined and was relegated, leaving Erlbach and Frohnlach to play for the remaining slot.[12]
