Structure

The league comprises 48 teams (3 groups of 16 teams). Over the course of a season, which runs annually from September to the following June, each team plays twice against the others in the league, once at 'home' and once 'away', resulting in each team competing in 30 games in total. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the league table by points gained. In the event that two or more teams finish the season equal in all these respects, teams are separated by head-to-head points, then head-to-head goal difference, then head-to-head goals scored, then goal difference and then goals scored.

From the 2022-23 season the top team in each group was promoted to the Tercera Federación (Group 5). The teams placed between second and sixth places were promoted to the Lliga Elit, a new league that will be played from the 2023–24 season and that will be located between Primera Catalana and Tercera Federación. The teams located between seventh and fourteenth place continued in the Primera Catalana, which will become the seventh tier of Spanish professional football. The last classified of each group and the two worst penultimate places were relegated to Segona Catalana.[2]
