Football league season
The 2017–18 Austrian Regionalliga was the 59th season of the Austrian third-tier football league.
The Regionalliga is split into East, West and Middle (German: Ost, West & Mitte ) divisions. The Regionalliga Ost is formed by clubs from the Vienna , Lower Austria and Burgenland Football Associations . The Regionalliga Mitte is made up of clubs from the Upper Austria , Carinthia and Styria Football Associations . The Regionalliga West is made up of clubs from the Salzburg , Tirol and Vorarlberg Football Associations .
Due to the expansion of the Austrian leagues, this season eight clubs were promoted to the 2018–19 Second League , i.e. the successful promotion applicants from each division.[ 1] A ninth team would have played in a promotion/relegation play-off against the bottom placed team in the First League , but the Austrian FA decided against relegation to the Regionalliga,[ 2] so there was no play-off.
