The Campeonato Brasileiro Série B 2005, the second level of Brazilian National League, was played from April 23 to November 26, 2005. The competition had 22 clubs, which two were promoted to Série A and six were relegated to Série C.

In the first round, each team played against every other, much like what happens in Série A. Differently from Série A, though, each team played against the other only once. Thus, each team played 21 games, 11 home and 10 away (or the opposite), for a total of 231 games. The eight best ranked teams advanced to the second round, where they were divided in two groups of four. Teams in each group played against each other home and away. The two best ranked teams in each group advanced to the final round. Those four teams were put in a single group, and played against each other home and away.

Grêmio finished the group with most points and was declared champions, claiming the promotion to the Série A along with Santa Cruz. The six last ranked teams in the first round (Anapolina, Bahia, Caxias, Criciúma, União Barbarense and Vitória) were relegated to play Série C in 2006.
