It is one of five Landesligas in Bavaria, the other four being the Landesliga Südwest, Landesliga Mitte, Landesliga Nordost and Landesliga Südost. The league champion automatically qualifies for the Bayernliga, the runner-up needs to compete with the runners-up of the other four Landesligas and a number of Bayernliga teams for another promotion spot.
The league replaced the Landesliga Bayern-Nord at this level, the former having existed from 1963 to its disbanding in 2012. The new Landesliga Nordwest covers eastern Upper Franconia and western Lower Franconia only while the old Landesliga Nord covered both regions in full.
