1973–74 Regionalliga
The 1973–74 Regionalliga was the eleventh 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 for 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.
