# Hong Kong Second Division League

Hong Kong Second Division League (Chinese: 香港乙組聯賽) is the third level of football league in Hong Kong founded in 1909. The top two teams are promoted to the Hong Kong First Division.

## Competition format

* Each team plays the other teams twice, one home and one away game. The ticket profits go to the home team. If there are two matches in the same stadium on the day, the profits are shared between the two home teams.
* Since most of the teams do not have a home ground, the matches will be played on different grounds. It happens that one team plays their home games in different stadiums in the same season.
* The bottom two teams are relegated to the Hong Kong Third Division.
