Recent Seasons

The 2021 season was the first season in single league format, doing away with the Southern Zone and the Western Zone. The league was planned to be 16-team competition, however, 20 teams were allowed to participate. Because of this, the format was changed to 1.5 rounds - after playing the first round, the league was split into top and bottom groups. The teams played the second round among the teams of its group. As the 2021 I lyga only had 14 teams instead of planned 16, 4 teams qualified for promotion this season.

In the 2022 season, 22 teams attempted to license to II lyga. Although the league was planned to be a 16-team competition, in the end 18 teams were granted licenses.
