Liga a II-a is the second tier of professional football in Romania. It operates below Liga I, the top division, and features teams competing for promotion to the higher league. The league consists of various clubs from across the country, and its structure can change based on the number of teams participating. The competition typically runs from August to May, with teams playing each other in a round-robin format. The top teams at the end of the season earn promotion to Liga I, while the lower-ranked teams may face relegation to Liga III, the third tier of Romanian football.
