Promotion play-offs
Six teams may contest the promotion playoffs depending on the point differential between the third and fourth-placed teams. It begins with a preliminary one-legged round played at the home venue of the higher placed team, involving the teams placed fifth to eight. The two winning teams advance to play the third and fourth-placed teams in the two-legged semifinals. Those winning teams advance to the two-legged final where the winner is promoted to play in Serie A the following year. In the two-legged rounds, the higher seeded team plays the second game at home.

Relegation play-out
Two teams may contest the relegation playout, depending on the point differential between the 18th and 19th-placed teams, in a two-legged round. The higher placed team plays the second leg at home.
