The 1946–47 Divizia B was the eighth season of the second tier of the Romanian football league system.

The league was resumed after five years in which was suspended due to World War II. The format of three series was maintained, but this time the series were much larger, 15 teams in the first one, 14 for each of the other two. This season is practically the beginning of the professionalism of Romanian football, new clubs are enrolled, others are moved back in the Romanian championship. At the end of the season four teams promoted to Divizia A, the winners of the series and a fourth team established after a promotion play-off between second places and the best third place.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesr/roem2hist.html rsssf.org][http://www.romaniansoccer.ro/divizia_b/tables/1946_47.shtml romaniansoccer.ro]

Team changes

The classic format of promotion and relegation is not relevant this season because after a pause of 5 years and due to the troubled historical frame, many teams were dissolved, others were newly founded and submitted directly in the Divizia A or Divizia B and also the teams which were moved in the Hungarian football league system in 1940 after the signing of the Second Vienna Award were moved now back in the Romanian football league system after the signing of the Paris Peace Treaties. These teams were submitted also in different leagues, based much more on their situation at that time, not on their last rank in the Romanian football league system.

Jiul Petroșani and Juventus București were promoted to Divizia A, meritorious promotion due to their rankings at the end of the 1940–41 season 1st place in their series.
