The Segunda División B - Grupo 4 (The Second Division B - Group 4) is one of four third-leagues in the Spanish soccer pyramid. Unlike the Primera and Segunda it is administered by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol, the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The Segunda División B was launched in the late 1970s as an intermediate level between the Segunda and Tercera, initially with only two groups and later expanded to four. Grupo 4 is for clubs from the south of the country - Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha plus Ceuta and Melilla.

The 20 teams play each other twice (home and away) for a total of 38 games. The season runs from August to May. The top 4 teams from each group advance to a series of promotion playoffs. These are two series of home and away matches to reduce the 16 teams to 4 who will be promoted. The bottom four from each group are relegated to the Tercera División. In addition the 16th team from each group enters a relegation playoff comprising all four 16th teams. They are drawn into random pairs, play a home and away series and the two losing clubs are also relegated.
