Map of the five German Regionalligas from 1963 to 1974

The 1969–70 Regionalliga  was the seventh 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 all five runners-up, at the end of the season, entered a promotion play-off to determine the two clubs to move up to the Bundesliga for the next season. The two promotion spots went to the Regionalliga Süd champions Kickers Offenbach and Regionalliga West runners-up Arminia Bielefeld.

## Regionalliga Nord[edit]

The 1969–70 season saw two new clubs in the league, Olympia Wilhelmshaven and SC Leu Braunschweig, both promoted from the Amateurliga, while no club had been relegated from the Bundesliga to the league.
