According to the regulations, third-placed
Frosinone would have avoided the play-offs if they had ended the regular season 10 points clear of fourth place. However, in the last round,
Perugia and
Benevento won their matches to leave the gap at nine points. Six teams contested the promotion playoffs. A preliminary one-legged round, played at the home venue of the higher placed team, involved the teams from 5th to 8th place. The two winning teams played against the 3rd and 4th-placed teams in two-legged semi-finals. The higher placed team played the second leg of the promotion playoff at home. == Top goalscorers ==
