The newly formed Super League 2, Greece’s second tier, will kick-off on the weekend of September 15th. On Wednesday, the league draw was held to determine the schedule for the upcoming season.
The new Greek second division will feature 12 teams. A total of 22 rounds will be played in the regular season followed by playoffs and playouts. Teams ranked 1-6 in the regular season will partake in the playoffs while teams ranked 7-12 will compete in the playouts. All points accumulated in the regular season will carry over to the playoffs and playouts. The regular season is scheduled to conclude on the weekend of February 16th.
The top team at the end of the playoffs will gain promotion to the Super League while the second-placed team will face the Super League’s 13th placed team (second from bottom in the playouts) in a two-legged promotion/relegation playoff for a spot in the 2020/21 Super League. The two last-placed teams from the Super League 2 at the end of the playouts will be demoted to the Football League, the Greek third tier.
Below is the full schedule for the Super League 2 regular season.
There is still confusion surrounding the league’s TV rights. The national station, ERT, owns the rights to the league but has offered the clubs a massive pay cut compared to the original agreement (negotiated by the previous party in power SYRIZA). The league has threatened that the season will not start unless a satisfactory TV deal has been agreed upon. There is hope that the two sides will shake hands and the league will begin in just over two week’s time.
