The Slovenian Second Football League (), also known by the abbreviation 2. SNL, is the second highest football league in Slovenia. The league was formed in 1991 and is operated by the Football Association of Slovenia.
Format and rules In its inaugural edition in 1991–92, the Slovenian Second League was divided into two regional groups (East and West), with both winners directly promoted to the Slovenian PrvaLiga. In 1992, a unified league was formed, with 16 clubs playing the round-robin system, which lasted until 2003. Two clubs were usually promoted, while the number of those relegated varied with the number of divisions in the Slovenian Third League. In 2003, the league was reduced to twelve teams, and only the champion was directly promoted to the top tier, as an additional promotion play-off was introduced for the second-placed team. In 2005, the league was further reduced to ten teams playing a triple round-robin format.
In 2017, the competition returned to the old system with 16 clubs, used between 1992 and 2003. Each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 30 matchdays. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. The winner is promoted to the Slovenian PrvaLiga, the second-placed team enters the promotion play-offs, and the bottom two teams are relegated to the Slovenian Third League.
