In the 2009/10 season there are two regional groups (West and East) making up the II Liga. They both consist of 18 teams. Two first teams from each group win promotion to the I Liga. Teams from places 15-18 are demoted to the III Liga and teams from places 11-14 have to take part in playoffs to avoid demotion.
