The 2016–17 2. Liga (Slovakia) season season, named DOXXbet liga due to sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd edition of the second tier Slovakian league system football annual competition in Slovakia, since its establishment in 1993.[1]

For the third time in its history (and for now the last time), teams will compete in two groups, with top six sides from each of group advanced to a further round and all other teams played in relegation groups. From the 2017–18 season, 2. Liga will feature 16 teams playing in nationwide group.[2][3]

Changes from last season

[edit]

In Eastern group will play only 10 teams.
