Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled but added to the full round that was played immediately afterwards.

Promotion play-offs

Rules:
  • Preliminary round: the higher-placed team plays at home. If teams are tied after regular time, extra-time is played. If scores are still level, the higher-placed team advances;
  • Semi-finals: the higher-placed team plays at home for the second leg. If teams are tied on aggregate, the higher-placed team advances;
  • Final: the higher-placed team plays at home for the second leg. If teams are tied on aggregate, the higher-placed team is promoted to Serie A, unless the teams finished tied on points after regular season, in which case winner is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out if necessary.


Relegation play-offs

The higher-placed team plays at home for the second leg. If the teams are tied on aggregate, the lower-placed team is relegated to Serie C, unless the teams finished tied on points after the regular season, in which case the winner will be decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out if necessary.
The relegation play-offs, originally scheduled to be held between Salernitana and Sampdoria on the dates of 19 and 26 May 2025, was successively postponed after Brescia was reported for financial irregularities that might lead to the club being deducted four points as a result. On 26 May, Lega B decided that the relegation play-offs would probably occur between 15 and 20 June 2025. On 29 May, Brescia's four-point deduction for administrative violations was confirmed, however, Lombard club appealed the judicial verdict with the decision coming on June 12. On that day, their appeal failed after they dropped the appeal. On 17 June, Lega B announced that the relegation play-off second leg would take place on 22 June 2025.
