Teams

edit

Sixteen teams will participate in the 2019–20 season. Promoted teams are Grazer AK from Austrian Regionalliga Central and FC Dornbirn 1913 from Austrian Regionalliga West. No team gained promotion from Austrian Regionalliga East due to the only team to apply for a licence (SK Rapid Wien II) not attaining the required second place.[1][2]

The team relegated from the 2018–19 Austrian Football Bundesliga were Wacker Innsbruck.
