Levante was the first team from Segunda División to achieve promotion, after a one-year absence from La Liga, on 29 April 2017 after winning 1–0 against Oviedo. Girona was promoted as the runners-up after drawing 0–0 against Zaragoza on 4 June 2017, this was their first promotion to the top division. They will be the 62nd team to participate to Spanish top level league. Getafe was the last to be promoted after beating Huesca and Tenerife in the play-offs, one year after their relegation.
