The 2026 Segunda División Profesional de Chile (also referred to in Spanish as the Liga Segunda División) is scheduled to be the 16th season of Chile's third-tier professional football league, organized by the ANFP.[1][2]

Overview

Santiago Morning are expected to compete in the division following confirmation of their relegation from the Primera B after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld the points deduction that determined their final standing.[3]

The season is also set to feature the return of Atlético Colina to the professional leagues as champions of the Tercera División A and the return of Colchagua after winning the promotion play-off for the second spot available to ANFA clubs.[4][5]

Competition format

According to reporting on the ANFP-approved changes for 2026, the competition is expected to keep the traditional double round-robin format (two rounds, everyone plays everyone), with the season start pushed to late March.[6]

  • Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss.
  • The champions are promoted to the Primera B.
  • The bottom teams are relegated to the Tercera División A.
