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.

The teams placed between second and fifth places, and the winning club of a game between the two best sixth places will be promoted to the Superlliga Catalana, 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 and the sixth place losers of the play-off will continue in the Primera Catalana, which will become the seventh tier of Spanish professional football.
