Relegation play-offs Since SpVgg Unterhaching won the promotion play-offs, two spots were available in the next Regionalliga Bayern season, which went to the two winners of the first round. Had Unterhaching lost the promotion play-offs, only one spot would have been available, requiring a second play-off round between the winners of the first round. To avoid waiting times, the participating clubs had agreed to play the second round regardless of Unterhaching's performance in the promotion play-offs.
First round
Second round
Promotion play-offs The order of the legs was determined in a draw. The matches were originally scheduled to take place on 1 and 5 June 2023. However, since Energie Cottbus qualified for the final of the 2022–23 Brandenburg Cup, the matches were rescheduled to 7 and 11 June.
