History

In 1968, following the new administrative and territorial reorganization of the country,^[1] each county established its own football championship, integrating teams from the former regional championships, as well as those that had previously competed in town and rayon level competitions. The freshly formed Timiș County Championship was placed under the authority of the newly created Consiliul Județean pentru Educație Fizică și Sport (lit. 'County Council for Physical Education and Sports') in Timiș County.

Since then, the structure and organization of Liga IV Timiș, as with many other county championships, have undergone numerous changes. Between 1968 and 1992, the main county competition was known as the County Championship. From 1992 to 1997, it was renamed Divizia C – County Phase, followed by Divizia D starting in 1997, and since 2006 it has been known as Liga IV.
