History
The league was founded in 2019, after the restructuring of the Greek football league championships,[2] replacing the Football League (former Beta Ethniki) as the second level in the league pyramid.
Twelve (12) clubs participated in the league's first season and second season of operation.
For the third season (2021–2022) the league was restructured after the abolition of the third level Football League. Starting with this season, the league became known as Betsson Super League 2 as the online betting operator entered into a title sponsorship agreement.[3] The league included 24 teams including Olympiacos, PAOK, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens also participating. Levadiakos was promoted to Super League and did not participate; A.E. Kifisia F.C. was an addition relegated from Super League.
For the fifth season (2023–2024), the league remained split into two groups with a reduction to twenty four clubs.
For the sixth season (2024–2025), the league continued with two groups with a further reduction of the clubs to twenty.
For the seventh season (2025–2026), the league continued with two groups and overall twenty teams like the previous year.
Starting from 2026–2027 season, the championship is planned to be held with 16 teams in one group after the further reduction of the teams from last year with 30 matchdays, without play-offs for the promotion and play-outs for the relegation.
