In many sports leagues around the world (with the North American professional leagues as the most important exception), relegation (or demotion) means the mandated transfer of the worst team(s) of a higher division into a lower division at the end of the season. Usually an equal number of best team(s) from the lower division enjoy the opposite procedure, promotion.
- English FA Premier League (level 1): Bottom three teams relegated
- Spanish La Liga: Bottom three teams relegated. Top three teams from the Segunda División automatically promoted.
- Italian Serie A: Bottom three teams relegated. Top two teams from Serie B automatically promoted; next four teams play off, with the winner gaining the third promotion spot.
- German First Bundesliga: Bottom three teams relegated. Top three teams from the Second Bundesliga automatically promoted.
- French Ligue 1: Bottom three teams relegated. Top three teams from Ligue 2 automatically promoted.
- Dutch Eredivisie: Bottom team automatically relegated; top team in Eerste Divisie automatically promoted. Next two Eredivisie teams enter into a play-off system with the eight best remaining teams from the Eerste Divisie (the six winners of six-match periodes plus the two best other teams), with the two winners being promoted to or remaining in the premier division.
- Scottish Premier League: Bottom team relegated. Top team in Scottish First Division automatically promoted if its ground meets Premier League standards; otherwise, the bottom team will remain in the Premier League.

Regelation is a phenomenon in which water refreezes to ice after it has been melted by pressure at a temperature below the freezing point of water. Pressure makes an ice skate, for example, form a film of water that freezes once again after the skater has passed.

Each soccer/football league plays their entire season. At the end, the 3 teams who finished bottom are relegated to the league below. At the same time, the 3 teams that finshed top of the second league are promoted to the top league.
