The division of the groups and the draw for the fixtures took place on 1 September 2025 and shortly after the entire schedule for the regular season was released.[1]
The championship began on 13 September 2025 with the 1st round of the regular season in both groups. The winter break started on 22 December 2025, while the regular season concluded on 25 January 2026. Promotion play-offs and relegation play-outs started on 15 February 2026, with play-offs ending on 22 March 2026 and the whole league concluded on 26 April 2026, with the last fixture for the play-outs round.[2]
Starting from this year's championship, Adidas was the official match ball supplier.[3]
Competition
The championship was planned to be held with 21 teams in two groups, but after Lamia did not declare participation [4] the number of teams became 20 and so it was decided to hold the championship again in two groups of 10 teams each, same as last year.[5] For the fourth consecutive year, PAOK B competed and for the second consecutive year, Asteras Tripolis B. Olympiacos B participated in the category again, after 1 year, due to the dissolution of AEK Athens B. From this season, the B teams were able to be relegated normally, without replacement in case of relegation and at the same time they would have the right to compete in the Gamma Ethniki, if they wished.
The deadline for submitting participation statements was set on July 7, 2025.
Format
The championship was held in two phases. In the first phase in each group, each team faced all opponents twice (home and away, a total of 18 matches in the North and South group). There was no direct relegation.
The second phase included classification matches (play off and play out) for the first place in both groups and promotion to Super League 1 and for the relegation of a total of eight teams to Gamma Ethniki, those who occupied positions 7–10 in both groups.
The play-offs, this time, featured the top four teams in the first phase standings, and played the rest twice, home and away. They were consisted of 6 rounds and 6 matches for each team. The teams entered the play-offs with half of the points they earned in the first phase.
The teams that occupied positions 5-10 participated in the play-outs. The teams started with half of the points they earned in the first phase and competed with the rest in double matches home and away (10 rounds, 10 matches for each team).
Promotion and Relegation
A total of two (2) teams were promoted to Super League 1, the winners of the play-offs of each group, and a total of eight (8) teams were relegated to Gamma Ethniki (the last four from the play-outs), so that in the 2026–2027 season the championship will be held with the participation of 16 teams in one group.
