The Maltese Second Division (also known as the BOV Second Division due to sponsorship reasons) was the third-highest division in Maltese football until 2020 when it was merged with the Maltese Third Division to create the National Amateur League.
Structure
Thirteen clubs competed in the league, playing each other twice. Teams earned three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. At the season's end, the top two teams were promoted to the First Division, while the bottom two were relegated to the Third Division. The team finishing third played a play-off against the third-last team from the First Division. The winner secured a place in the latter's next season. The 11th-placed team in this league contested a similar play-off against the third-placed team from the Third Division to determine placement in the following season's Second Division.
