At the end of the seasons, three teams are promoted to Serie A. The first two teams are directly qualified to Lega Pro.
The third team is selected by play-offs. If the third team is 10 points or more ahead of the 4th team, then the third team is automatically qualified.
Relegation.
The three last-placed teams are directly relegated to Serie C, and the 19th team is automatically relegated only if the 18th team is 5 points or more ahead.
If the 18th team is not 5 points or more ahead of the 19th team, there will be play-outs.
