Segunda A Liga Adelante System

The competition follows the usual double round-robin format employed in most leagues. During the September to June season, each of the 20 Liga Adelante clubs plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 38 games.

Each Liga Adelante team receives three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, with the highest-ranked club at the end of the season crowned champion.

If points are equal between two or more clubs, the following rules apply:

• If the tie is between two clubs, then the it is broken using the head-to-head goal difference (without away goals rule)
• If the tie is between more than two clubs, then it is decided on:
  1. head-to-head points
  2. head-to-head goal difference
  3. head-to-head goals scored
• If the tie remains unbroken, it is determined using:
  1. a) total goal difference
  2. b) total goals scored
• If the tie is still not broken, the winner is determined by Fair Play scales.
  1. yellow card, 1 point
  2. doubled yellow card/sending off, 2 points
  3. direct red card, 3 points
  4. Suspension or disqualification to coach, executive or other club's personnel (outside referee decisions), 5 points
  5. Misconduct of the supporters: mild 5 points, serious 6 points, very serious 7 points
  6. Stadium closure, 10 points
  7. If the Competition Committee removes a penalty, the points are also removed
• If the tie is still not broken, it will be resolved with a tie-break match in a neutral stadium.

Promotion to Primera

The top two teams from the Segunda División are promoted directly to Primera Liga.

The third promotion place is disputed by the teams that finish 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in the Liga Adelante. In the first round of play-offs, the 3rd placed club plays against 6th and the 4th placed against 5th. The winners of these ties play each other to decide who obtains the third promotion slot.

The reserve or B teams of Liga BBVA clubs are not considered for promotion as two teams representing the same club are not allowed to play in the same division.

Relegation to Segunda B

The four last placed teams in La Liga Adelante are relegated to the Segunda B Group corresponding to their region.

These clubs are replaced by the sides that have won the Segunda B play-offs.
