The promoted team was PAS Giannina who has returned to the first tier after a one-season absence.[2] They replaced Panionios (relegated after 23 seasons in the top flight).

Apollon Smyrnis were also promoted by virtue of winning the playoff round, which relegated Xanthi after 31 years.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 13, but then postponed and played between rounds 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for round 16.
