# 2025 Primera B de Chile

The 2025 Primera B de Chile, also known as Liga de Ascenso Caixun 2025 due to sponsorship by electronics manufacturer Caixun, is the 71st season of the Primera B de Chile, Chile's second-tier football league. The season began on 21 February and is scheduled to end on 2 November 2025.

## Format

The competition will be played under the same format used in the most recent seasons, with a regular stage and a play-off tournament (known as Liguilla). In the regular season, the 16 participating teams will play each other in a double round-robin tournament (once at home and once away) for a total of 30 matches, with the top team at the end of the 30 rounds winning the championship as well as promotion to the Chilean Primera División for the following season. The teams placing from second to eighth place at the end of the regular season will enter the Liguilla to decide the second promoted team, in which the regular season runners-up will receive a bye to the semi-finals. The team placing last at the end of the regular season will be relegated to the Segunda División Profesional.

## Teams

The tournament is played by 16 teams, 13 of them returning from the previous season, two relegated from the 2024 Campeonato Nacional (Cobreloa and Deportes Copiapó), and the 2024 Segunda División Profesional champions Deportes Concepción, who returned to the second tier after nine years following their disaffiliation from the ANFP in 2016. These teams replaced Deportes La Serena and Deportes Limache, who were promoted to the 2025 Liga de Primera, as well as Barnechea, relegated to Segunda División for this season.
Deportes Concepción's promotion to Primera B was only confirmed on 31 January 2025, after a ruling by the Second Chamber of the Disciplinary Court confirmed a three-point deduction for Deportes Melipilla in the 2024 Segunda División Profesional standings, leaving Deportes Concepción as Segunda División champions. Deportes Concepción were ratified as champions by the ANFP on 4 February, greenliting the club's participation in the competition.
