The Saudi Women's Second Division League, officially the SAFF Women's Second Division League, is the third-tier Saudi women's football league in the Saudi football league system, below the Saudi Women's First Division League.
History and format In November 2023, the board of directors of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation approved the establishment of the Women's Second Division League, in response to the continued growth of women's football in the country.
In January 2024, the federation finalized the format for the Women's Second Division League. The competition consists of two phases: a regional group stage played in a home-and-away format, followed by a centralized final stage. The top teams from each group advance, with the champion and runner-up earning promotion to the First Division. Two teams will be relegated from the First Division to accommodate this promotion.
In October 2024, it was announced that 25 teams would participate in the inaugural edition. The group stage will be held in a regionally centralized format, with teams playing a double round-robin (home and away). Eight teams will qualify for the final stage: the top five group winners and the three best second-placed teams.
The final stage will be played in a centralized format, beginning with the quarter-finals in a single-elimination format. The teams that finish first and second in the final round will be promoted to the First Division for the following season.
