## Relegation playoff

The promotion-relegation playoff was contested between winners of Basic league playoff and 10th-placed team of Advanced league, but the match became meaningless after Korea Football Association decided to examine every K3 League club for qualification for newly-founded K3 League or K4 League.

## Championship playoffs

When the first round and semi-final matches were finished as draws, their winners were decided on the regular season rankings without extra time and the penalty shoot-out.
