2025 Belarusian First League is the 35th season of 2nd level football in Belarus. It started in March and will finish in November 2024.
Team changes from 2024 season
[edit]Two best teams of 2024 Belarusian First League (Molodechno and Maxline Vitebsk) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. They were replaced by two last-placed teams of 2024 Belarusian Premier League (Dnepr Mogilev and Shakhtyor Soligorsk). Third-placed club Niva Dolbizno lost promotion/relegation play-off against Naftan Novopolotsk and remained in the First League for another season.
Two last placed teams of the last season (Torpedo-BelAZ-2 Zhodino and Energetik-BGU Minsk) relegated to the Second League. They were replaced by two best teams of 2024 Belarusian Second League (Minsk-2 and Partizan Soligorsk), although Partizan rejected promotion opportunity for the third time in a row.
After Shakhtyor Soligorsk were relegated from the Premier League, their farm club Shakhtyor-2 Soligorsk were automatically excluded from the First League. Shakhtyor Soligorsk themselves also withdrew from the league, after failing to apply for the license, in addition to having huge debts and a transfer ban.[1]
Following the withdrawals of Shakhtyor, Shakhtyor-2 and Partizan, additional promotion spots were granted to Unixlabs Minsk, Gomel-2 and Osipovichi (4th, 5th and 9th-placed teams of the Second League).
ABFF-managed team ABFF U-17 was renamed to ABFF U-19, in accordance with the selected players' ages.
