The 2025 Liga 2 (known as the Liga 2 Caja Cusco 2025 for sponsorship reasons) was the 73rd edition of the second tier of Federación Peruana de Futbol. This year's edition started on 4 April 2025 and ended on 16 November 2025.
Teams Initially, 18 teams were to take part in this season: the top 16 teams from the 2024 season plus the 2024 Copa Perú finalists Bentín Tacna Heroica and FC Cajamarca who will both play in the Liga 2 for the first time. However, in October 2024, Deportivo Municipal suffered revocation of its Liga 2 license and was relegated to 2025 Liga 3, decreasing the number of teams from 18 to 17.Deportivo Municipal intensifica su crisis: club ‘edil’ descendió a Liga 3 tras nueva sanción de la FPFJugaría en la Liga 3: Municipal sufrió revocación de licencia de la Liga 2 y podría descender Additionally, Ayacucho FC and Binacional's reincorporation into the Liga 1 from winning a judicial battle against the Peruvian Football Federation decreased the number of teams to 15.
