2020 Tercera División play-offs
The 2020 Tercera División play-offs to Segunda División B from Tercera División (Promotion play-offs) were the final playoffs for the promotion from 2019–20 Tercera División to 2020–21 Segunda División B. The first four teams in each group took part in the play-off.
Format
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the format was changed to an "express play-off" between the four first qualified teams of each group at the moment of the suspension, without meeting teams from other groups.[1]
Playoffs will be played, if possible, in a final four format at neutral venues and depending on the evolution of the pandemic in each region, with spectators or behind closed doors. In case of a draw in any game there will be no penalty shootout or overtime; the best-positioned team in the regular season will qualify.[2]
Only one team per group will be promoted. The group champions that will not win promotion in the first stage will play an additional playoff to be determined for two more promotions. All teams could have refused to play one another if they wanted. However, there were no withdrawals.[3]
Semifinals will be played on 18 and 19 July, and the final on 25 July.
