Esiliiga B


The Esiliiga B is the third division in the Estonian football league system. The Esiliiga B is ranked below the Esiliiga and above the II liiga. As in most countries with low temperatures in winter time, the season starts in March and ends in November.

Competition format

The league consists of 10 clubs, all teams play each other four times. Both the winning team and the runners-up are promoted to the Esiliiga directly, whereas the third place club will participate in a two-legged play-off with the 8th place club of the Esiliiga for a spot in next year's competition. Similarly, the 2 bottom placed teams are relegated to the II liiga. The third bottom team can avoid relegation by winning a two-legged play-off against the II Liiga play-off round winners.
