    Notes:
    1. Only teams that hold a J2 license are eligible for promotion.
    2. The team does not hold neither a J1 nor J2 license, and so are ineligible for promotion to the J2 League.
    3. Promotion from the JFL is conditional on holding a valid J3 license. If the JFL champions hold a license, the club will be automatically promoted and the J3's 20th-placed team will be automatically relegated. If the JFL runners-up hold a license, the club will need to play promotion/relegation play-offs against J3's 19th or 20th-placed team for the season, depending on whether the JFL champions hold the J3 license. The club(s) who does not hold a license can not be promoted.
