Format
[edit]The league consists of 148 teams divided geographically into 13 groups, with each group containing a different number of teams, depending on clubs' hometowns:[3]
- Group A, B, C and D for teams from Upper Egypt.
- Group E and F for teams from Greater Cairo.
- Group G for teams from north-eastern governorates and South Sinai.
- Group H, I and J for teams from central and northern governorates.
- Group K for teams from Alexandria and Beheira.
- Group L for teams from North Sinai.
- Group M for teams from Matruh.
The number of promoted and relegated teams differs from a group to another, according to the competition's regulation for the 2023–24 season.[4]
The top team from each 13 group earns direct promotion to the Egyptian Second Division B. In group E, F, H, I, J and K, the bottom two teams are relegated to the Egyptian Fourth Division, while in group A, B, C, D, G, L and M, only the last-placed team face relegation, for a total of 19 teams.
Group G is split into two groups, G2 for teams from South Sinai, and G1 for the remainder teams. The top two teams from G1 advance to the promotion play-offs, alongside the first-placed team from G2, to decide the promoted team to Second Division B. Only the team finishing last in G1 are relegated, with no teams from G2 facing relegation.

Notes:
- ^ a b Teams are ranked on head-to-head record.
- ^ On 16 August 2024, the Egyptian Football Association announced the promotion of Benha and Al Jazeera to the Egyptian Second Division B due to administrative errors. This decision followed appeals by both teams against Plastic Shubra El Kheima and MS El Dabaa, respectively, who had fielded ineligible players during their second-leg matches. As the 2023–24 season had already concluded, the EFA was unable to award 2–0 victories or update league standings, prompting them to promote the affected teams, who would have topped their groups with the awarded points.[5]

Notes:
- ^ a b Teams are ranked on head-to-head record.
- ^ On 16 August 2024, the Egyptian Football Association announced the promotion of Benha and Al Jazeera to the Egyptian Second Division B due to administrative errors. This decision followed appeals by both teams against Plastic Shubra El Kheima and MS El Dabaa, respectively, who had fielded ineligible players during their second-leg matches. As the 2023–24 season had already concluded, the EFA was unable to award 2–0 victories or update league standings, prompting them to promote the affected teams, who would have topped their groups with the awarded points.[5]
- ^ a b Teams are ranked on head-to-head record. The second match involving Matruh and Al Nasr (Sidi Barrani) was abandoned after a riot broke out between the players and technical staff of both teams, while the result of the match was 0–0. The Egyptian Football Association announced on 2 January 2024 that the match would be not replayed, and that the match points would be withheld from both teams; deducting one point from each team as a result.[9]
- ^ On 28 December 2023, the Egyptian Football Association announced that Wydad Matruh were disqualified from the league due to failing to attend their fixtures, and that the club would be relegated to Fourth Division.[10]
- ^ On 7 November 2023, the Egyptian Football Association announced that MS Siwa withdrew from the league, and that the club would be relegated to Fourth Division, per the competition's regulations.[11]
