Until 2023/24

the number of groups were increased to six for the 2020/21 season and five for the 2021/22 season.
Promotion & Relegation
*The top three teams of each group advanced to the promotional playoffs. The twelve teams were paired into four playoff groups. The six winners were drawn into three more groups with the three winners being promoted to
Tercera División RFEF – Group 6. The bottom three teams (16th-18th) in each group were relegated to the Primera Regional de la Comunitat Valenciana, which consisted of eight regional groups.
Changes for 23/24
In October 2022 the FFCV agreed to create a new 6th level, called Lliga Comunitat FFCV, to better bridge the gap between the Regional Preferente and
Tercera Federación

consisting of two groups of 16 teams to begin for the 2023/24 season, split on a north/south basis.
The winner of each Lliga Comunitat FFCV group will be promoted to Tercera Federación, with the winner of a play-off between the 2nd and 3rd placed teams also promoted. The bottom three teams in each group will be relegated. The 7th level Primera FFCV will consist of 4 groups, the 8th level Segona FFCV of 8 groups and the 9th (lowest) level Tercera FFCV of 15 groups. Each division at every level will have 16 teams, a reduction from the previous 18 that some contained, to reduce administration costs. The bottom three teams from each Primera FFCV and Segona FFCV group will be relegated and replaced by the champions of the groups in the level below and the winner of play-offs involving the second placed teams.
