The Brandenburg-Liga (VI) (formerly the Verbandsliga Brandenburg) is the highest league for football teams exclusively in the German state of Brandenburg and at step-six of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 it was the fifth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the fourth tier. The champions of the Brandenburg-Liga are directly promoted to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord.
The Brandenburg-Liga, previously referred to as the Verbandsliga Brandenburg, was established in 1990 from thirteen clubs as a highest league for the German state of Brandenburg, which was established after the league in October 1990, and the Brandenburg Football Association, FLB (German: Fußball-Landesverband Brandenburg). It comprised the area of the three Bezirksligas of Potsdam, Frankfurt (Oder) and Cottbus. Each of those three Bezirke contributed four clubs to the new league, with one club coming from the 2nd Division. The Verbandsliga was established within the East German football league system and incorporated in the league system of the united Germany after the end of its first season, in 1991.
The league was (and still is) a feeder league to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord, together with the Berlin-Liga and Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which its champion is directly promoted to. As such, it was the fourth tier of the German league system.
