Promotion and relegation rules In the first phase (regular season), every team plays each of the other teams in its group twice, once at home and once away.
In the second phase, the teams finishing first through sixth in the 12-team groups and first through fifth in the remaining 11 and 10-team groups will enter their respective promotion group, carrying over all points earned in the first phase. Each promotion group will be played as a single round-robin tournament, with the group winner qualifying for the final promotion phase. The teams finishing seventh through twelfth in the 12-team groups, sixth through eleventh in the 11-team groups and sixth through tenth in the ten-team Group 1, will enter their respective relegation group, also carrying over their first-phase points. The bottom three teams in each group will be relegated, for a total of 30 relegated clubs.
In the third and final phase, the ten group winners from their respective phase two promotion groups, will be divided geographically into a North group (winners of Groups 1–5) and a South group (winners of Groups 6–10). After a double round-robin tournament, the top two teams in each group will be promoted to next year's Super League Greece 2.
