The Maltese National Amateur League 2 is Malta's fourth-highest professional football division. The 2024-25 League winners will be promoted to the Maltese National Amateur League.

On 30 April 2024 Victoria Hotspurs from Gozo became a new member of Malta Football Association. They became Gozo's first football club to play in the Maltese Football League.
