Tournament format

As it is the lowest division of Thai football, the clubs which are still in the division, and new ones which participate in the tournament by sending applications to the Football Association of Thailand, will take part of the tournament. The first round is the group stage, played in a round-robin basis, and the clubs are divided into groups of 3 or 4. The winners and the runners-up of each group qualify to the knock-out stage. Only the best eight, or the quarter-finalist clubs, of the tournament promote to the Khor Royal Cup next season, while there's no relegation and the remaining clubs are still in this division until they can reach the quarter-final round or promotional spots.
