Competition format and rules

Slovenian Third League, 3. SNL, is divided into four regional groups with a total of 52 participating clubs. Three groups (i.e. North, Center, East) are composed of 14 clubs, while the group West only has 10 clubs that are participating in the competition. The winners of the regular season in each group play a promotional two-legged play-off to decide which two teams promote to the Slovenian Second League. Reserve teams of the top division sides are ineligible to promote to the second division, due to the rules of the Football Association of Slovenia, which stipulate that one club's main squad and their reserve team must be at least two leagues apart in the country's football pyramid. Consequently, in case one club's main squad is relegated from the top division to the second division their reserve team would be automatically relegated from the third division.

The number of relegated teams from each group is determined by the number of regional MNZ's from which the clubs in all four groups are a part of. There are nine MNZ's governing bodies in Slovenian football:

This means that three teams from 3. SNL North are relegated at the end of the season and replaced by the winners of the fourth tier competitions held separately in MNZ Celje, MNZ Maribor and MNZ Ptuj. The number of relegated teams from 3. SNL Center and 3. SNL East is two, while only the bottom team relegates from 3. SNL West as MNZ Koper and MNZ Nova Gorica manage a combined fourth tier competition. The number of relegated teams can also be determined by the location of teams which relegate from the second division. Each of the bottom placed second division teams can only relegate to the one 3. SNL group that is managed by the MNZ they are a part of.
