The Landesliga is the 6th tier of football in most of Germany, one division below the Verbandsliga.In Bavaria, Sachsen, Thüringen and Hessen the Landesligas are set right below the Oberliga and therefore are the 5th tier. The reason for this is that Bavaria and Hessen are the only places in Germany where the Oberliga, the State and the Verband are geographically the same, while the other two states simple chose to call their leagues Landesligas when establishing them in 1990.
Typically, in each Bundesland, the Landesligen are split up into different Staffel or "divisions".
In Bavaria and Hessen, the Landesliga is split up into three divisions, South, Central and North. In Sachsen and Thüringen the Landesliga is in a single division format.
Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein are the only two German states not to have Landesligas. The Rheinland region of Rheinland-Pfalz also operates without such a league.

Note: Unterhaching II is a guest team, whose matches and their results would still be counted in the Südwest division table, and thus not an official Landesliga competitor.
