The Dhaka Second Division Football League (Bengali: ঢাকা দ্বিতীয় বিভাগ ফুটবল লীগ) is the fourth-tier football league in Bangladesh and the second-highest league division in Dhaka.[2] The league was officially founded in 1948 as the second tier of the First Division – Dhaka League, when Bangladesh was under Pakistani rule.
Until 1992, it served as the second tier of Bangladeshi football before being replaced by the now-defunct Dhaka First Division Football League (1993–2006 second-tier version). In 2012, the league was further demoted to become the country's fourth tier. The two top-finishing teams in the Super League round are automatically promoted to the Dhaka Senior Division League (formerly Dhaka League).[3][4][5]
The league is the second-highest division of semi-professional football in the country and is run by the Dhaka Metropolitan Football Committee under the supervision of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).[6]
Format
- As of 2022–2023

- The league champions and runners-up gain promotion to the Dhaka Senior Division Football League. While the bottom two positioned teams are relegated to the Dhaka Third Division Football League, which is the fifth-tier of Bangladeshi football.
