Competition format
= Regional stage
=There are 16 clubs in the Second League. There are 2 regions, West and East, with both divisions containing 8 teams which must play home and away games against their regional opponents. From each region, 4 teams advance to the promotion round, whereas the other 4 teams advance to the relegation round. This stage of the league is typically contested from April to August.
= Promotion/relegation stage
=The promotion round involves additional matches between the best 8 teams in the league, allowing two of the best teams to be promoted to the First League at the conclusion of the season. Additionally, the third-finishing team contests a two-legged playoff against the third-from-bottom-team in the First League, with the winner of the playoff securing an additional First League berth for the next season.
The relegation round, contested between the bottom 4 teams of each of the two divisions, sees the bottom 4 of those total 8 teams relegated to the Third League.
