Format

The league retained the format used in the most recent season.[1] The tournament was played in a year-round competition with the 16 teams playing the other teams twice on a home-and-away basis and playing a regional rival twice more for a total of 32 matches. The top eight teams after the thirty-two rounds advanced to the Semifinal round where the eight teams were sorted into two groups of four and played a double Round-robin tournament group stage. Both group winners earn promotion to the Categoría Primera A and also advanced to the Final round, which consisted of two legs to decide the winner.
