Notes:
- ↑ Sepsi OSK is ahead of Voluntari on points from the regular season.
- ↑ Bihor Oradea was ineligible for promotion after failing to obtain the Liga I license due to the absence of registered women's youth teams (U13 and U15).[4]
- ↑ Steaua București was ineligible for promotion due to being owned by a governmental entity, as Liga I clubs must be privately owned.[5]
