FC Brașov saga

FC Brașov had comfortably avoided relegation from Liga II last season, while Progresul Spartac were relegated after losing their last chance, the play-off against Metaloglobus. However FC Brașov did not have their finances in order and the FRF had no choice but to relegate them. FC Brașov appealed the decision, including at the court in Lausanne, but ultimately lost.

On 7 August 2023, FC Brașov was definitively relegated from Liga II by the Romanian Football Federation, with Progresul Spartac being readmitted to the Liga II.^[7]

Soon after leadership decided to disband the senior team of FC Brașov with the view to eventually merge with fellow city club SR Brașov, freeing up another spot in Liga III.^[8]

Teams spared from relegation

Progresul Spartac București was spared from relegation to 2023–24 Liga III season, due to the decision to relegate FC Brașov, decision that vacanted place in the 2022–23 Liga II season.

Sănătatea Cluj, ACB Ineu, KSE Târgu Secuiesc and Vedița Colonești were spared from relegation to 2023–24 Liga IV season.

Withdrawn teams

Real Bradu,^[9] Farul II Constanța,^[10] Retezatul Hațeg,^[11] Ripensia Timișoara,^[12] Viitorul Liteni,^[13] Unirea Constanța and Academica Recea^[14] withdrew from the competition, before the start of the season. Crișul Chișineu-Criș^[15] withdrew at the time of the draw due to a political decision. Gloria Albești also withdrew last minute.

Renamed teams and other changes

Dinamo Bacău merged with Academia FC Bacău to form FC Bacău.^[16]

CSM Satu Mare was renamed as CSM Olimpia Satu Mare.^[17]

Muscelul Câmpulung Elite was renamed as AFC Câmpulung Muscel 2022^[18]

Last minute changes

With the disbanding of FC Brașov, and the last minute withdrawals of Crișul Chișineu-Criș and Gloria Albești, the FRF decided to readmit some teams and reshuffle some of the series in order to better adhere to geographic criteria. As such Dacia Unirea Braila were readmitted, even though they had relegated after the last season, also LPS HD Clinceni (formerly known as Academica Clinceni) and Oltul Curtișoara were allowed to join Liga III, even though they had lost their respective promotion playoffs from Liga IV.^[19]

Promotion play-offs

The promotion play-offs are disputed between the first two teams from each of the ten play-off round series. Only the best five teams will be promoted to 2024–25 Liga II. To determine the sixth promoted, a mini-competition will be held, in which the best four of the five teams defeated in the finals of the playoffs will participate. The mini-competition will consist of semi-finals and a final (one game on the field of the first draw), the winner of the final advancing to Liga II, which goes from 20 to 22 participants.
