Promotion

The champion and the runner-up, which are Sport and Atlético Paranaense, were promoted to the following year's first level.

Relegation

The four worst placed teams, which are Anapolina, Coritiba, Americano and Treze, were relegated to the following year's third level. However, the Second level was expanded to 64 clubs in the next year, eliminating any need for a Third level, and thus the relegations were cancelled.
