Structure

At present, there are twenty one clubs that compete in the Football League, playing each other in a home and away series. At the end of the season, the bottom three teams are relegated to the Gamma Ethniki. The top three teams gain automatic promotion. However, teams positioned fourth to seventh take part in a promotion play-off. Unlike in Superleague, clubs in the Football League do not get relegated if the club fails to obtain a license. All teams in the Football League take part in the Greek Football Cup.

Promotion play-offs

The promotion play-offs will comprise the teams ranked 3rd through 6th during the regular season, and they are scheduled to take place immediately after the conclusion of the regular season.[15] Niki Volos started the playoffs with a one-point disadvantage, because of their worse position in contrast to the other teams, when the main season finished.
