2009–10 Libyan Second Division

This article details the 2009–10 Libyan Second Division season.

Format

This year, 47 teams will participate in the competition, split up into 5 groups depending on their geographical location. The top team in each group will progress to the Championship Play-off, where the five teams will play each other home and away to determine the automatic promotion place to the 2010-11 edition of the Libyan Premier League. The second-placed team in this promotion stage will face a two-legged playoff against the 11th placed Premier League team from this season to determine the 12th and final spot in next season's Premier League competition.
