The1946–47Divizia B was the eighth season of the second tier of theRomanian football league system.
The league was resumed after five years in which was suspended due toWorld War II. The format of three series was maintained, but this time the series were much larger, 15 teams in the first one, 14 for each of the other two. This season is practically the beginning of the professionalism of Romanian football, new clubs are enrolled, others are moved back in theRomanian championship. At the end of the season four teams promoted toDivizia A, the winners of the series and a fourth team established after a promotion play-off between second places and the best third place.[1][2]
The classic format of promotion and relegation is not relevant this season because after a pause of 5 years and due to the troubled historical frame, many teams were dissolved, others were newly founded and submitted directly in theDivizia A orDivizia B and also the teams which were moved in theHungarian football league system in 1940 after the signing of theSecond Vienna Award were moved now back in theRomanian football league system after the signing of theParis Peace Treaties. These teams were submitted also in different leagues, based much more on their situation at that time, not on their last rank in theRomanian football league system.
Jiul Petroșani andJuventus București were promoted toDivizia A, meritorious promotion due to their rankings at the end of the1940–41 season 1st place in their series.

Ripensia Timișoara (3rd, Divizia A) andFC Brăila (13th, Divizia A) were relegated directly toDivizia C, without playing in the second season.
