Excluded and spared teams

Armonia Dolhești was disbanded in the summer of 2018, so Viitorul Reghin (8th place in 2017–18 Liga II, Seria I) was spared from relegation.

Luceafărul Filiași took over Real Craiova's spot after its relegation from 2017–18 Liga I, although some viewed it as just a name change.[6] The move was possible by disaffiliating the old Real Craiova club[7] and transferring the senior team components to Luceafărul Filiași Sport School, along with their club president, local politician Fănel Văduva.[8] As such, the first squad was able to continue in Liga II, as they relegated at the end of the 2017–18 Liga I, thus they were not required to start in Liga III as it happens with new teams. Consequently, the spot of Real 2 Craiova, which was taken over by Luceafărul 2 Filiași was transferred to Liga III, as two teams from the same club cannot play in the same league.
