The National Championship was the next stage from the regional stage of 2024–25 Thai League 3. The winners and runners-ups of each region would qualify for this round to find 3 clubs promoting to 2025–26 Thai League 2.

Format

The 12 best clubs from the Regional Stage are divided into three groups. Each group plays in a round-robin, home-and-away format. The top club from each group advances to the semi-finals, along with the best second-placed club from all groups.

The knockout stage, held over two legs, uses aggregate scoring, with the away goals rule applied in case of a tie. If still level, extra time and penalties will decide the winner. Semifinal winners reach the final and secure promotion to Thai League 2, while the semifinal losers compete for promotion play-off, with the winner finish as third places and also earning promotion. This format ensures strong competition and offers promotion opportunities to the top clubs.
