Overview

The league champions, FC Augsburg, won promotion to the Regionalliga Süd. It was Augsburgs fifth Bayernliga title, having previously won the league in 1972–73, 1979–80, 1981–82 and 1993–94.[1][2] Augsburg had been forcibly relegated to the Bayernliga for financial reasons despite finishing eighth in the Regionalliga in 1999–2000.[3]

Of the five relegated clubs MTV Ingolstadt was the only one never to return to the Bayernliga, merging with ESV Ingolstadt in 2004 to form FC Ingolstadt 04. FC Memmingen and Würzburger FV won promotion back to the league in the following season while 1. FC Sand and ASV Neumarkt both returned in 2012 when the league was expanded to two divisions.[4]

Rico Hanke of TSV 1860 München II was the top scorer of the league with 25 goals.
