Competition details and format
The Egyptian Second Division B is the third tier in the Egyptian football system, having been established as such in 2023. The 2025-2026 season is the third season of the Second Division B and is organized by the Egyptian Football Association. Just like in the previous seasons, teams are distributed across six groups, but these have been coupled in larger groups of two, as Group 1 (A and B), Group 2 (A and B), and Group 3 (A and B). The number of teams increased again from 65 to 86, so that four groups include 14 teams and two groups (2 A and 3 B) include 15 teams. Group 1 B was also supposed to have 15 teams, but Asyut Cement had withdrawn before the start of the competition. The teams are distributed according to their geographical location: group 1 (A and B) includes mainly teams from Upper Egypt, group 2 (A and B) – teams from Greater Cairo and the North-East, and group 3 (A and B) – teams from Alexandria and the North-West.
The format for the 2025-2026 season was adjusted from the previous seasons; changes being confirmed in July 2025. While last season the top three classified in each of the six groups qualified for the promotion play-offs, forming three groups of six teams, this season only the top classified team of each group (A and B) will qualify for the promotion play-offs, which will involve head-to-head two-leg decisive matches between the top teams of group 1 (A and B), group 2 (A and B), and group 3 (A and B), respectively. The three winners of these double-leg encounters will be champions of groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and will promote to the Second Division. Teams classified on the bottom four places in each of the six groups are to be relegated to the Third Division.
The competition format was established as a double (home and away) round-robin championship, each team playing all other teams twice, once at home and once away, a total of 26 rounds in most groups. In groups 2 A and 3 B there are also 7 matches in each round, but one team receives a bye in each round, because there are 15 teams in these groups, and therefore there will be a total of 30 rounds. The competition started on 2 September 2025 with matches in group 2 (A and B). In Group 1 B (North Upper Egypt and Giza), the season started on 8 September 2025. The season is scheduled to end in May 2026 with the promotion play-offs. Games in Group 1 (A and B) are played usually on Mondays afternoon, rarely on Tuesdays, and less in other days.
In Group 1 B, the main contenders for promotion are considered the teams from Cairo and Giza area, Team FC and newly-promoted Media and Cascada, along with El Minya, Misr Lel Makkasa, and Telephonat Beni Suef, the strongest teams of the Upper Egypt area in this group. Although newly-promoted teams, Seela and Golden Gate are also expected to compete well. At half-season, Team FC were in top position, unbeaten, three points ahead of El Minya and Cascada in second and third, and six points ahead of Media and Seela, which came in fourth and fifth place respectively.
The fight to avoid the four relegation spots involves most of the other teams. Newly-promoted Naser Mallawi and Naser El Fekreia, along with Beni Mazar, Tamya, and Egypt Stars are among the most vulnerable. At half-season, Mallawi were bottom of the table without a single win, five points behind Beni Mazar and Egypt Stars, all three in relegation position. Tamya and Naser El Fekreia were only four points above them, one above and one below the relegation line.
