The bottom two teams in each Series 1 group are relegated to [[Series 2 (Danish football)|Series 2]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Rækkebeskrivelser - Serie 1 |url=https://www.dbujylland.dk/turneringer-regler/dbu-jylland-turneringer/11-mands-senior-og-ungdom-ligaraekker/raekkebeskrivelser/herrer/?_id=D57F08066A094B3AB787BC0C34512103&_z=z |website=dbujylland.dk |publisher=[[DBU Jutland]] |accessdate=15 October 2020}}</ref>
