The 2020–21 Segunda División, also known as LaLiga SmartBank for sponsorship reasons, will be the 90th season of Segunda División. It is scheduled to begin on 12 September 2020 and will conclude on 29 May 2021.

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

A total of 22 teams will contest the league, including 15 sides from the 2019–20 season, three relegated from the 2019–20 La Liga, and four promoted from the 2019–20 Segunda División B. This will include the winners of the play-offs.

Teams promoted to Primera Division

On 12 July 2020, Cádiz were the first team to be promoted to La Liga, ending a 14-year run in the lower divisions, seven of which were spent in Segunda División B, following Oviedo's 1−0 win against Zaragoza.[1] The second team to earn promotion was Huesca after their 3−0 win against Numancia on 17 July 2020. This marks an immediate return to the first division.[2]

Teams relegated from Primera Division

The first team to be relegated from La Liga were Espanyol. Their relegation was ensured on 8 July 2020, after a 1−0 loss against Barcelona in the Derbi Barceloní, sentencing them to their first season in the Segunda División in 26 years.[3] The second team to be relegated were Mallorca, who secured relegation on 16 July 2020 after a 1−2 home defeat against Granada, suffering an immediate return to the second division.[4] The third and final relegated club were Leganés, who concluded their four-year stay in La Liga in a 2−2 draw against Real Madrid on 19 July 2020.[5]

Teams relegated to Segunda División B

The first team to be relegated from Segunda División were Racing Santander, securing relegation on 4 July 2020 after a 1−2 home loss against Elche. This marked an immediate return to the Segunda División B.[6] The second team to be relegated were Extremadura, who were also sentenced on 4 July 2020 after trailing to Numancia 1−0 at home, ending a two-year run in the second division.[7] On 20 July 2020, the final round of the 2019–20 season, the relegations of Numancia and Deportivo La Coruña were secured after Albacete's 1−0 away triumph against Cádiz. This ends Deportivo's 39-year streak in professional football, spending 25 of those years in La Liga and 14 of those years in Segunda División. This also brings Numancia's 23-year play between La Liga and Segunda División, spending 4 of those years in La Liga and 19 of those years in the second tier.[8]

Teams promoted from Segunda División B

Following the play-offs, the first team to achieve promotion were UD Logroñés after defeating Castellón on penalties on 18 July 2020. They are set to play in the Segunda División for the first time in their history, and to bring back professional football to La Rioja 20 years after the relegation of former CD Logroñés.[9] The second team to earn promotion were and Cartagena on 19 July 2020 after beating Atlético Baleares on penalties as well, they return to Segunda after eight years.[10] Sabadell and Castellón were the last teams to get promoted on 26 July 2020 after defeating Barcelona B and Cornellà in their respective playoff matches.
