3. Liga 2026/27: the 20 clubs, their squads, and what our numbers expect

GoalSoon · built 2026-08-04 08:25 UTC · every figure is our own calculation

20 clubs, 467 players currently registered, every arrival and departure our data has recorded since 1 May, and a projection for the season with the error we measured on it — which is large enough that we publish bands, not a 1–20 order.

How the projection is built, and how wrong it is

The league's composition is not guessed. It is read from the fixture list: the 20 clubs that actually have 2026/27 3. Liga fixtures scheduled (138 matches already on the calendar).

For each club we learn, from the seasons we hold, how points per game carry into 3. Liga from each direction a club can arrive from, apply that to a weighted average of its last three seasons, and shrink the result towards the division average of 1.37 points per game.

Arriving from	n	Average here	Slope	r
stayed in 3. Liga	80	1.40	+0.20	+0.12
relegated from the 2. Bundesliga	16	1.44	+1.60	+0.56

Read the continuity row before you read the table. Across 80 club-seasons of clubs that stayed in 3. Liga from one season to the next, how the club did the season before correlates r = +0.12 with what it does next. That is no signal at all. It has a name this summer: TSV Havelse took 0.92 points a game last season, finishing 17th, and the model still puts them 16th of 16 here at 1.34 — because a season in this division has historically told you very little about the next one. Compare clubs that were relegated into 3. Liga from the 2. Bundesliga, where how a club finished in the 2. Bundesliga does carry (r = +0.56, n = 16), and where the model still shrinks the number hard, because arriving that way has historically been worth about 1.44 points a game in this division.

Then we check it honestly, by holding out one season at a time (6 seasons, 2020/21 to 2025/26) and predicting it from the others, and compare against two baselines that require no model at all:

Approach	Error, pts/game	Over 38 games
Give every club the league average	0.259	±9.9
Repeat last season unchanged	0.312	±11.9
This model	0.251	±9.5

In this division the model barely earns its keep. It is 3 per cent better than handing every club the league average — 0.251 against 0.259 points per game, a gap of about 0.3 points across a season, which is inside the noise. It is a long way clear of repeating last season (0.312), and that is the honest summary: this league resets every year, and knowing last season’s table is worse than knowing nothing much. Read the projections as an ordering of expectations, not as a forecast of the table.

On position the model misses by 4.5 places on average; it lands within three places 47 per cent of the time and within six 73 per cent. The whole projected range below spans 10 points while the error is ±10, which is exactly why the table is sorted but not numbered.

4 of the 20 clubs get no projection at all. Fortuna Köln, SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, SV Meppen, Würzburger Kickers came up from the Regionalliga, which our data layer does not cover, so we have no measured seasons to carry forward. Rather than hand them the league average and present it as a forecast, they are listed without a number. Their squads and summer business are below like everyone else’s.

What this does not know. Last season's table in our data is complete — all 20 clubs have their full 38 matches recorded, and every rate here is per game rather than a season total. Transfer counts are a floor, not a full window: our club-side feed returns only each club's most recent movements and is dominated by loan returns, our player-side feed only covers players we hold a profile for, and the window is still open. Minutes retained is measured against the minutes we recorded last season, not against a club's full official squad list. Squad appearance, minute and goal figures describe last season, at whichever club the player was at. The projection uses results only — no transfers, no injuries, no coaches, no budgets — which means it cannot see the summer it is projecting; a club that has rebuilt is exactly where it will be most wrong. It is not a betting product: the same family of model picks the right 1X2 result 44.4 per cent of the time over a season against the closing market's 46.4 per cent, and loses to the bookmakers.
