The II liga is the third tier of professional football in Poland. It operates below the Ekstraklasa, the top division, and the I liga. The league consists of several teams that compete for promotion to the higher divisions, making it an important step for clubs aiming to reach the top levels of Polish football. Each season, teams in the II liga play a series of matches, with points awarded for wins and draws. The top teams at the end of the season earn promotion, while the lowest-ranked teams face relegation to lower divisions. This structure creates a competitive environment for clubs and players alike.
