Danish 2nd Division East

The 2nd Division East is a group in the Danish 2nd Division with teams from the Zealand, Copenhagen, Lolland-Falster and Bornholm Football Associations. The winners gain promotion to the Danish 1st Division, while the last-place finishers risk relegation into the Denmark Series.

From 1945 to 1991 the 2nd Division was a single competition, just below the top-flight Danish 1st Division. Before the 1991 season a new top-flight Danish Superliga was instituted, and the 2nd Division was split into the Danish 2nd Division West and East competitions, now in the third tier of Danish football. In 1997, the two 2nd Divisions were again merged into one competition, but were split up again in 2005. In 2015 the 2nd Divisions were split into three groups with a promotion and relegation group.
