Playoffs
The winner of each of the five groups formed a double round-robin playoff group, from which the champion would secure automatic promotion while the second-placed team went into a further playoff against the third-last team from the 1939–40 Primera División.
The runners-up from the five groups were to play a consolation tournament called the FEF President Cup. Group I runner-up CD Malacitano declined to enter and were replaced by third-place Racing de Ferrol, who won the tournament.
