Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken

The Bezirksoberligas in Bavaria were introduced in 1988 to create a highest single-division playing level for each of the seven Bezirke.

Before the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas, the Bezirksliga was the level of play below the Landesliga. The Bezirksliga Oberfranken-Ost and Oberfranken-West fed the Landesliga Bayern-Nord as they afterwards fed the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken.

The winner of the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken, like the winner of the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken, was directly promoted to the Landesliga Bayern-Nord. The two second placed teams out of those leagues played-off for another promotion spot. The winner went to Landesliga, the loser faced the 15th placed team out of the Landesliga for the last spot there. However, in some years additional promotion places were available in the Landesliga.

The three bottom teams of the Bezirksoberliga were relegated to the Bezirksliga, the team just above those faced a play-off against the second placed Bezirksliga teams.

With the league reform at the end of the 2011–12 season, which includes an expansion of the number of Landesligas from three to five, the Bezirksoberligas were disbanded. Instead, the Bezirksligas took the place of the Bezirksoberligas below the Landesligas once more.^[2]

The clubs from the Bezirksoberliga joined the following leagues:^[1]

• Champions : Promotion round to the Bayernliga, winners to the Bayernliga, losers to the Landesliga.
• Teams placed 2nd to 6th: Directly qualified to the Landesliga.
• Teams placed 7th to 13th: Three additional Landesliga places to be determined in a play-off round with the two Bezirksliga champions, losers enter Bezirksliga.
• Teams placed 14th to 16th: Directly relegated to Bezirksliga.
