The Liga 2, most commonly spelled as Liga II, is the second level of the Romanian football league system. The league changed its name from Divizia B just before the start of the 2006–07 football season. It is currently sponsored by Casa Pariurilor, a betting company under the official name Liga 2 Casa Pariurilor.
The expansion will be achieved by having only 4 teams relegate at the end of the 2023-24 Liga II season ( by giving up on the extra relegation match-up between the second to last teams in the play-out groups ), and having 6 teams promote from Liga III ( 5 play-off winners plus a sixth team to be determined by extra matches between the best 4 teams that lost in the final round of the Liga III play-off ).
The new format will be similar to the current one, with teams playing each other once in the regular season ( for a total of 21 match days this time ), followed by a promotion play-off with 6 teams, playing each other twice, and a relegation play-out with two groups of 8 teams playing each other once ( as opposed to the current play-out format with groups of 7 also playing each other once ).
On the promotion end, the format will be the same as currently, with the top two teams from the play-off promoting directly and next two playing an extra promotion play-off against teams from Liga I.
