Overview

The Landesliga was launched to start play in the 2017–18 season as part of realignments in the league system of Schleswig-Holstein[1] and as a solution to the problem of many teams promoted to the Verbandsliga ending up relegated or withdrawn after one season.[2]

The league is divided into two divisions of 16 clubs each, Schleswig (north-west) and Holstein (south-east), and teams promoted to or relegated from it will be assigned to a division based on geographical proximity, a practice called "flexible game operation" (German: flexibler Spielbetrieb).[1][3]
