League chronology

Timeline

Regional Preferente

The Regional Preferente de la Comunitat Valenciana is one of the lower levels of the Spanish Football League. It is held every year. It stands at the sixth level of Spanish football with teams five promotions away from the top division. Teams from this league progress into the Tercera División RFEF Group 6. The participating teams are based in the Valencian Community.

The League

The league consists of four regional groups of 18 teams each. Group 1 consists of teams in the province of Castellon and the northern part of Valencia province, Group 2 teams in the city of Valencia and surrounding satellite towns, Group 3 teams in the south of Valencia province and north of Alicante province and Group 4 teams the rest of Alicante province.

Promotion & Relegation

The top three teams of each group advance to the promotional playoffs. The twelve teams are paired into four playoff groups. The six winners are drawn into three more groups with the three winners being promoted to Tercera División RFEF – Group 6. The bottom three teams (16th-18th) in each group are relegated to the Primera Regional de la Comunitat Valenciana, which consists of seven regional groups.

Proposed changes

On 4 October 2022 the FFCV suggested creating a new level, provisionally titled Primera FFCV, to better bridge the gap between the Regional Preferente and Tercera Federación consisting of one or two divisions of 16 teams to begin for either the 2023/24 or 2024/25 seasons.[1]
