Promotion play-offs

Rules:

  • Preliminary round: the higher-placed team plays at home. If teams are tied after regular time, extra-time is played. If scores are still level, the higher-placed team advances;
  • Semi-finals: the higher-placed team plays at home for second leg. If teams are tied on aggregate, the higher-placed team advances;
  • Final: the higher-placed team plays at home for second leg. If teams are tied on aggregate, the higher-placed team is promoted to Serie A, unless the teams finished tied on points after regular season, in which case winner is decided by extra-time and a penalty shootout if necessary.

Relegation play-out

The relegation play-out was not played because the 16th-placed team Ascoli finished more than 4 points ahead of 17th-placed team Cosenza, then they were relegated directly to Serie C. Cosenza was later readmitted to replace the excluded Chievo.
