Map of the five German Regionalligas from 1963 to 1974

The 1973–74 Regionalliga was the elevent season of the Regionalliga, the second tier of the German football league system. The league operated in five regional divisions, Berlin, North, South, Southwest and West. The five league champions and runners-up then entered a promotion play-off to determine the two clubs to move up to the Bundesliga for the next season. Northern German and Berlin champions Eintracht Braunschweig and Tennis Borussia Berlin were promoted.

It was the last season of the Regionalliga as a tier two league, being replaced by two regional divisions of the 2. Bundesliga at this level from 1974–75. Apart from the two teams promoted to the Bundesliga, 38 clubs qualified for the new 2. Bundesliga while the remaining 43 dropped down to the third division Verbandsligas, Amateurligas and Oberligas. Qualification to the 2. Bundesliga took the previous five Regionalliga season into account to determine the qualified teams, rather than just the final tables of 1973–74.[1]

Regionalliga Nord

The 1973–74 season saw three new clubs in the league, Concordia Hamburg and VfL Pinneberg, both promoted from the Amateurliga, while Eintracht Braunschweig been relegated from the Bundesliga to the league.
