The2020 Tercera División play-offs to Segunda División B from Tercera División (Promotion play-offs) were the final playoffs for the promotion from2019–20 Tercera División to2020–21 Segunda División B. The first four teams in each group took part in the play-off.
Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the format was changed to an "express play-off" between the four first qualified teams of each group at the moment of the suspension, without meeting teams from other groups.[1]
Playoffs were played, if possible, in a final four format at neutral venues and depending on the evolution of the pandemic in each region, with spectators or behind closed doors. In case of a draw in any game there were no penalty shootout or overtime; the best-positioned team in the regular season will qualify.[2]
Only one team per group were promoted. The group champions that will not win promotion in the first stage will play an additional playoff to be determined for two more promotions. All teams could have refused to play one another if they wanted. However, there were no withdrawals.[3]
Semifinals were played on 18 and 19 July, and most finals on 25 July.

Group champions that did not promote after their stages were eligible to play a new playoff for the two last spots. After the suspension of the Basque Country final, theRFEF agreed to close the competition to four teams, excludingPortugalete in case of losing the final. The two matches were drawn on 28 July.[13]
The two matches would be played atLa Ciudad del Fútbol, inLas Rozas de Madrid, at 22:00CEST. However, the whole repechage was suspended just two hours before the match between Lealtad and Alcoyano due to several positive cases atMarino squad.[14] On 10 August the RFEF granted the promotion of the four teams involved due to the limited availability of dates to play the matches.[15]
