The 2025 Liga 2 (known as the Liga 2 1xBet 2025 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 80th edition of the second tier of Federación Peruana de Futbol.
Initially, 18 teams were to take part in this season: the top 16 teams from the 2024 season plus the 2024 Copa Perú finalists. However, in October 2024, Deportivo Municipal suffered revocation of its Liga 2 license and was relegated to 2025 Liga 3, decreasing the amount of teams from 18 to 17.[1] [2] Additionally, Ayacucho FC's reincorporation into the Liga 1 from winning a judicial battle against the Peruvian Football Federation decreased the number of teams to 16.[3]
2024 Liga 2 champions Alianza Universidad and runners-up Juan Pablo II College were promoted to the 2025 Liga 1. Juan Pablo II College were promoted for the first time in their history while Alianza Universidad were promoted for the first time since 2020.
