Notes Carpaţi Baia Mare did not start because of the Second Vienna Award, which meant the city of Baia Mare became part of Hungary. Crișana Oradea, the winner of Seria III of 1939–40 Divizia B, was also under the Hungarian occupation, so the runner-up FC Universitatea Cluj was promoted. The newly promoted FC Universitatea Cluj moved to Sibiu so they could play in Divizia A under the name , because Cluj-Napoca was under Hungarian occupation. CAM Timișoara and AMEF Arad were banned for political reasons, due to being workers' teams. AMEF Arad was enrolled in the Arad district league. FC Craiova and Gloria Arad were promoted to replace these 2 teams. Franco-Româna Brăila, the winner of Seria IV of 1939–40 Divizia B, was banned due to being a worker team, so it was replaced by FC Brăila.
