The Turkish Second League, or TFF 2. Lig, forms the third level of the Turkish football pyramid. It is divided into two groups: the White Group and the Red Group, each typically containing 19 teams. The season involves a double round-robin within each group. The group winners earn direct promotion to the TFF 1. Lig, while the runners-up, third, and fourth-placed teams enter a complex playoff system for the remaining promotion spots. This league is where professional and ambitious semi-professional football intersect, serving as a critical development league for young Turkish talent and a competitive arena for clubs from across the nation's diverse regions.
