2025–26 Liga III

Liga III
Season	2025–26
	← 2024–25 2026–27 → All statistics correct as of 22 August 2025.

The 2025–26 Liga III is the 70th season of Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system. The season started in August 2025 and would end in June 2026.

The format was changed to 96 teams, divided into eight series of twelve, to be played in three phases: a regular season, post-season play-offs and play-outs, and a knockout tournament for the fifth promotion spot.^[1]

In the regular season, each team will play 22 matches in a double round-robin format. The top four teams from each series will advance to the promotion play-offs, while the others will enter the play-outs.^[1]

In the promotion play-offs, qualified teams will be paired with those from a neighboring series (1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8), forming four play-off groups. The winners of each group will be promoted to Liga II, while the runners-up will compete in a knockout tournament for a fifth promotion place.^[1]

In the play-outs, teams ranked 5th–12th will play a single round-robin (7 matches), keeping the points accumulated in the regular season. The bottom two teams from each play-out group will be relegated, along with five additional 6th-placed teams, determined by a general ranking.^[1]
