Promotion & Relegation

Changes for 23/24

In October 2022 the FFCV agreed to create a new 6th level, called Lliga Comunitat FFCV, to better bridge the gap between the Regional Preferente and Tercera Federación consisting of two groups of 16 teams to begin for the 2023/24 season, split on a north/south basis.[1]

The winner of each Lliga Comunitat FFCV group will be promoted to Tercera Federación, with the winner of a play-off between the 2nd and 3rd placed teams also promoted. The bottom three teams in each group will be relegated. The 7th level Primera FFCV will consist of 4 groups, the 8th level Segona FFCV of 8 groups and the 9th (lowest) level Tercera FFCV of 15 groups.[2] Each division at every level will have 16 teams, a reduction from the previous 18 that some contained, to reduce administration costs. The bottom three teams from each Primera FFCV and Segona FFCV group will be relegated and replaced by the champions of the groups in the level below and the winner of play-offs involving the second placed teams.[3]
