The Belarusian Second League () is the third tier of professional football in Belarus. It was established in 1992.

History and format

A strict number of teams and competition format are not defined for the league. Before the start of each season the format of the league is adjusted depending on how many teams are willing to participate and able to fulfill licensing criteria.

  • 2003 season marked the lowest number of participants in League's history (12).

  • During 1994–1999 the participants were split into two groups on a geographical basis. The number of participating clubs varied between 24 and 40.

  • In 2000 and during 2014–2015 the participants were split into two groups on a geographical basis. The number of participating clubs varied between 20 and 24.
