Teams

[edit]

Ten teams participated in the 2017–18 season. TSV Hartberg was promoted after winning the 2016–17 Regionalliga Mitte without having to compete in promotion play-offs as no team from the Regionalliga West or Ost applied for promotion.[2] They replaced SV Horn who finished last in the 2016–17 First League. SV Ried were relegated from the 2016–17 Bundesliga, replacing 2016–17 First League champions LASK Linz.
