2. liga, currently named DOXXbet liga[1] due to sponsorship reasons, is the second-highest division in the Slovak football league system after the Fortuna Liga. The 2016–17 season of the DOXXbet liga will be the 24th season of the second-tier football league in Slovakia, since its establishment in 1993.

For the third time in history (and for now for the last time), teams will compete in two groups, with top six sides from each of groups will advance to the championship round and all other teams will play in relegation groups. From the 2017–18 season, 2. Liga will feature 16 teams playing in nationwide group.[2][3]

Changes from last season

In Eastern group will play only 10 teams.
