The 2023–24 Super League 2 was the fifth season of the Super League 2, the second-tier Greek professional league for association football clubs, since the restructuring of the Greek football league system.

The league was conducted by 24 teams and two groups, this was due to the restructure and abolishment of the Football League. The B Teams of Olympiacos, PAOK, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens also competed in the league for a third consecutive year.

Competition

[edit]

The championship is held with the participation of a total of 24 teams, six less than the previous season, which were divided into two groups. The deadline for submitting declarations of participation was set at 2 August 2023. The division of the groups and the draw took place on September 11.

The championship was planned to be played with 26 teams. Apollon Smyrnis did not participate and was replaced by the first runner-up team from the 3rd national division, Giouchtas, which had taken the 5th place in the promotion play offs. Before the draw, Ierapetra announced his withdrawal from the league, but without being replaced. So the draw included 25 teams in two groups of 13 and 12 teams.

Although Almopos Aridaias participated normally in the draw, he was expelled from the league following a decision by the Disciplinary Body of Super League 2 as he did not secure a certificate of participation from the E.E.A. After a week the team was vindicated by the Appeals Committee, but was permanently expelled a few days later by a decision of the Board of Directors of the organizing authority. Thus, the division was definitively left with 24 teams, without a new draw in Group A.

Way of Conduct

[edit]

The championship will be played in two phases. In the first phase in each group, each team will face all opponents twice (home and away, a total of 22 matches, in 22 games in Group A and 22 games in Group B). At the end of the first phase, the teams finishing 12th in each group will be directly relegated.

The second phase includes ranking matches (play off and play out) for the first place in the group and Promotion to Super League 1, and for the relegation of three more teams, those who will occupy positions 9 to 11.

In the play offs, the first five in the first phase's standings will participate, and they will compete twice with the rest, at home and away. They will include 10 matchdays and 8 matches for each team. In the play offs, the teams will enter with half of the points they had won in the first phase.

The teams that will take the positions 6th to 11th in the regular season will participate in the play outs. As in the play offs, the teams will start with half of the points they collected in the first phase and compete with the rest in double matches home and away (10 matches, 10 matches for each team). The teams that occupy the last three positions in the play outs will be relegated to Gamma Ethniki.

Promotion and Relegation

[edit]

A total of two teams will be promoted to Super League 1, the winners of the play offs of each group and a total of 8 teams will be relegated to the Gamma Ethniki.
