From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025–26 Denmark Series[1] is the 61st season of the Denmark Series, the fifth tier of the Danish football league structure organised by the Danish FA (DBU).
This season, the league is divided into four groups of ten teams each. After the regular season (18 rounds), the top five teams in the four groups are promoted to two promotion groups (east and west): the winners are promoted, and the two runners-up will have a play-off for the last spot in the 2026–27 Danish 3rd Division.[2] In the two qualification groups (east and west), eight teams will play not to be relegated to Tier 6 level in season 2026–27.[3][4]
