The 2018–19 Regionalliga is the eleventh season of the Regionalliga, the seventh under the new format, as the fourth tier of the German football league system.
Format
A new promotion format was used this season. The champions of the Regionalliga Nordost and Südwest were promoted directly to the 2019–20 3. Liga, as well as the champion of a third league determined in a draw. The other two champions participated in the promotion play-offs to determine the fourth promoted team.
The draw to determine which league got the final direct promotion spot (Bayern, Nord or West), along with the pairing order of the promotion play-offs took place on 27 April 2018.
Regionalliga Nord
18 teams from the states of Bremen, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein competed in the seventh season of the reformed Regionalliga Nord. Werder Bremen II was relegated from the 2017–18 3. Liga. Lupo Martini Wolfsburg and VfL Oldenburg were promoted from the 2017–18 Oberliga Niedersachsen and Holstein Kiel II was promoted from the 2017–18 Oberliga Schleswig-Holstein.
The relegation process was reformed for this season. The regular scenario saw the bottom three clubs relegated. They were replaced by the champions of the Oberliga Niedersachsen, while the champions of the Bremen-Liga, Oberliga Hamburg and Oberliga Schleswig-Holstein played a round-robin play-off for the remaining two places. The fifteenth-placed club played off against the Oberliga Niedersachsen runners-up for a final place in the Regionalliga. This scenario varied depending on promotion to and relegation from the 3. Liga.
