The 2023 Jordanian Third Division League started on 15 June 2023 and concluded on 30 July 2023.
Format The league consists of 40 teams divided into 10 groups of 4 or 5 teams according to geographical distribution. The first, second and third placed teams in each group, as well as the 2 best fourth placed teams with groups of 5 (see Groups 2, 3, 7, and 9) qualify to the Round of 32.
The Round of 32 and Round of 16 matches will be held in a single-match knockout system, while the rest of the tournament consists of a two-legged tie system. If a match ends in a draw, penalty kicks will be used directly to determine the winning team.
