The final of this tournament had to be played on April 23, 2010, the Castilla y León's day, but as both finalists had some problems in their leagues (Real Valladolid in Liga BBVA, finally relegated, and Salamanca in Liga Adelante), the final was postponed to the 2010–11 season.

Final winners were promoted to Liga BBVA. Granada and Celta Vigo played the other Semifinal.

Elche won 3–2 on aggregate and qualified for the Promotion play-off final. Real Valladolid stays in Liga Adelante.

Espanyol won 3–1 on aggregate.

Real Valladolid's image rights stop belonging (from this season) to the group Prisa, proof of this is the broadcast of the matchday 1 against Villarreal B by GolT (Mediapro) and the second qualifying round of Copa del Rey by MARCA TV (Mediapro), this being the first football match broadcast by the TV channel born in August 2010.

Caso Ferreira is the name given by Valladolid press to the lived scandal because of FIFA at Winter. During the Winter transfer window, Real Valladolid made official the transfer of the Uruguayan striker (who played in Bolivian Club Bolívar) William Ferreira during the night of January 31 to February 1, at the last hours of the transfer window. Once the player had moved to the city, after being introduced as a new signing and when he was about to be convened in early February, FIFA told Real Valladolid that the transfer had been completed after the deadline ended up, after 23:59 CEST on 31 January. Although Real Valladolid tried to prove it was a computer error, coming to claim the Higher Arbitration Court, his request was denied and the player was forced to return to Bolivia. Carlos Suárez, Real Valladolid president, said that he didn't rule out further bids for the striker in Summer, and was very unhappy with FIFA.
