Football league season
The 2019–20 Cypriot Second Division is the 65th season of the Cypriot second-level football league. It began on 20 September 2019[ 4] and ended in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sixteen teams are divided into 2 groups of 8 teams each (Groups A and B). Each plays the others from its own group twice, home and away, for a total of 14 games each, over 14 game weeks. Teams in places 1-4 of each group qualify for Premier Group where the first two teams were promoted to the First Division , and the rest for Standard Group where the last four teams would be relegated to the Third Division - however due to the pandemic, no teams were relegated this season.[ 5]
