Cambodian League 2, formerly the Cambodian Second League, is the second tier professional football league in Cambodia managed by the Cambodian Football League Company (CFLC). It was first started in 2016 by the Football Federation of Cambodia.[1] The winners from each of the 6 regions of the third level, the Regional League (North, South, East, West, Middle, and Phnom Penh), and from the Hun Sen Cup are qualified to play in the Cambodian League 2. The winner of the Cambodian League 2 will be promoted to the top division Cambodian Premier League the following season.[2] Currently Cambodian League 2 doesn't host in the 24-25 season due to low teams to compete.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Since both Bati Academy and Defense Ministry Youth are reserve teams, they're ineligible for promotion. That leaves 4th place Soltilo Angkor to be promoted to the first division for the 2018 season.
- ^ Since Electricite du Cambodge, National Police and Koh Kong are not met the requirement of national club licensing criteria, they're ineligible for promotion. That leaves 5th place Prey Veng to be promoted to the first division for the 2023-24 season.
