In case the slots can't be filled, in a situation where more than one semi-finalist has already qualified to the Champions League as regional champions, the empty slot(s) is rewarded to the J.League 100 Year Plan club status holders that finished the season as a Regional League runner-up.
If more than one "status holders" finishes the season as the 2nd-placed team in their respective Regional Leagues, an annually-rotated order of priority will be taken into consideration.
If a team with no intention to join the JFL ends up winning the final round, the promotion spot will be allocated to the runner-up.
In all mentioned scenarios, the bottom-placed team of the 2023 Japan Football League will not be relegated, and no play-off will be held.
