Current: 2025 Erovnuli Liga 2

The Georgian Erovnuli Liga 2 (Georgian: ეროვნული ლიგა 2; lit.'National League 2'), organized since 1990 by the GFF, serves as the second division of professional football in Georgia.

The league was introduced for the 2017 season under the current name as a part of reorganization process of the entire league system. It was formerly known as Pirveli liga (the First league).

Structure

There are ten clubs competing in Erovnuli Liga 2. During the season each club plays each other four times, twice at home and twice away.

At the end of each season the winner gains automatic promotion and the bottom club is relegated. The runner-up and 3rd placed team participate in two-legged home and away play-off matches against the 9th and 8th placed clubs of Erovnuli Liga, respectively.[1]

In case two or more teams obtain an equal number of points, final standings are determined by an aggregate of the results between them.

Seasons run on a full year system, running from spring to autumn.
