1. ^ Since AEK Athens, Panserraikos, Larissa were relegated to Football League 2 and Kerkyra with Kassiopi were merged, the teams became 24 and Vataniakos, Zakynthos, Paniliakos and Glyfada had to get promoted in order to fill the empty spots in Football League.

North Group

In the north group, as well as in the south group, the bottom three teams are relegated. None of the teams will be promoted directly. The top four teams of each group will qualify to a playoff round, to determine the three teams which will be promoted to Super League.
