Below shows how the current system works. For each division, its English name, official name or sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given. Each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above them and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below them.

Two clubs are relegated and promoted from the Czech First League and Czech National Football League respectively each season.

One club is promoted from both the ČFL and the MSFL to replace the two relegated teams from the Czech National Football League.

Winners of Czech Divisions A, B and C are promoted to the ČFL and winners of Czech Divisions D, E and F are promoted to the MFSL. Depending on the regional locations of the teams relegated from Czech 2. Liga the number of teams promoted and relegated from the ČFL and MFSL can vary from season to season.

Below the five 4th divisions, there are 14 regional divisions, the winners of which are promoted to the corresponding 4th division.
