Notes:
- On 10 March 2017, VfR Aalen was deducted nine points for filing in for insolvency.[20] On 15 March 2017, Aalen objected the decision.[21] The DFB rejected the appeal on 24 March 2017.[22] After Aalen again appealed against the decision, it was rejected once more on 11 April 2017.[23] On 4 May 2017, the DFB rejected the next appeal from Aalen.[24] It was again denied on 18 May 2017.[25]
- SC Paderborn were originally relegated from the 2016–17 3. Liga after finishing 18th. However, 1860 Munich, who were relegated from the 2016–17 2. Bundesliga, were unable to obtain a license for the 2017–18 3. Liga. Therefore, SC Paderborn, who submitted a 3. Liga license application, remained in the league for the 2017–18 season.[26][27]
