The Austrian Football First League ( _de. Erste Liga) is the second highest professional division in Austrian football. It contains 12 teams and is run after in the same way as the Austrian Football Bundesliga. The champion of the league is promoted into the Bundesliga, and the three last place teams from the First League are relegated into the regional leagues. The League is currently also known as "Red Zac First League" due to sponsorship of the European electronics-retailer Euronics.
The destination of the bottom club of the First League depends upon which "Land" of the Federal Republic it is a member, joining one of the "Regionalligen" (or regional leagues) in the east, center or west of the country. The three regional league champions are promoted to the First League, while three teams from the First League are relegated into the regional leagues. Participation in the professional First League is conditional on their licensing by the fifth senate of the federal league. If the license is refused for economic reasons, only two or less teams are relegated.
