RCD Espanyol B is the reserve team of RCD Espanyol. Unlike the English League, reserve teams in Spain play in the same football pyramid as their senior team rather than a separate league. However reserve teams cannot play in the same division as their senior team. Therefore the team is ineligible for promotion to the "Primera Division". Reserve teams are also no longer permitted to enter the Copa del Rey.
