The 2020 Primera B de Chile is the 66th season of the Primera B de Chile, Chile's second-tier football league. The competition began on 22 February 2020 and is scheduled to end in December 2020.

On 16 March 2020, the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) announced the suspension of the Primera B as well as the rest of its tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting from 18 March 2020.[1]

Format

The tournament is played by 15 teams, 14 returning from the previous season and the Segunda División Profesional champions San Marcos de Arica. The 15 teams will play each other twice (once at home and once away) for a total of 28 matches, with one team having a bye day in each round. The team that finishes in first place at the end of the round-robin tournament will earn promotion to the Campeonato Nacional for the 2021 season as Primera B champions. Meanwhile, the teams finishing from second to sixth place will play a playoff tournament for the second promotion berth, with the season runners-up having a bye to the final.

Since no teams were relegated at the end of the previous season, a weighted table that considers the performance of teams in the previous season as well as the current one will be elaborated to decide relegation. The team finishing in bottom place of this table at the end of the season will be relegated to the Segunda División Profesional.[2][3]

Relegation

For this season, a weighted table will be elaborated by computing an average of the points earned per game over this season and the previous one, with the average of points earned in the 2019 season weighted by 60% and the average of points earned in the 2020 season weighted by 40%. Promoted team San Marcos de Arica will only have their points in the 2020 season averaged, without weighting. The team placed last in this table at the end of the season will be relegated.[3]
