The 2024–25 Thai League 3 Central Region is part of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Regional Stage, consisting of 11 clubs located in the central region of Thailand. This region, formerly known as the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, has undergone significant changes with clubs relocating into and out of the area to better align with their geographical locations. The season will commence on 14 September 2024,[1] with clubs competing in a round-robin format featuring home-and-away matches. The Regional Stage will conclude on TBD, at which point the top two clubs will advance to the National Championship Stage, while the bottom-placed club will face relegation to the Thailand Semi-pro League for the following season. The adjustments reflect a more balanced regional structure, promoting competitive fairness across the league. This stage highlights the vibrancy of central Thailand, where clubs compete within a diverse and dynamic landscape, reflecting the region's strategic importance in the country.

Seasonal Changes

Formation of the Central Region

The former Bangkok Metropolitan Region was reorganized into the Central Region to better align with the geographical distribution of clubs. This change simplifies the regional structure and enhances clarity.[2]

Club redistribution

To accommodate the new regional structure, several clubs were reassigned:

Promotion from Thailand Semi-pro League

Dome was promoted from the Thailand Semi-pro League and will compete in the Central Region for the 2024–25 season.[5]

Promotion to Thai League 2

Bangkok, the 2023–24 national champion, earned promotion to Thai League 2, representing a significant loss of a strong competitor for the region.[6]

Relegation based on performance

The iCON RSU was relegated after finishing at the bottom of the table in the previous season.
