The 2024 Russian Second League Division B is the second season of Russia's fourth-tier football league. The season began on 30 March 2024 and will end on 16 November 2024.

Overview

In the summer of 2023, the Russian Second League was reorganized and split into two tiers - third-tier Russian Second League Division A and fourth-tier Russian Second League Division B.[1] Division B also switched to the spring-to-autumn, March-to-November schedule. 2023 was a transitional half-year season.[2] 2024 season is the first full-length season.

Division B is split into 4 groups, mostly based on geographical location. At the end of the year, four winners of their groups will be promoted into the Division A Second Stage Silver Group. Four bottom teams from the Division A First Stage Silver Group will be relegated to 2025 Division B.

Team movement

At the end of the 2023 season, Mashuk-KMV Pyatigorsk, Khimik Dzerzhinsk, Kaluga and Torpedo Miass were promoted to Division A as winners of their Division B groups. Forte Taganrog, Amkar Perm, Chertanovo Moscow and Salyut Belgorod were relegated to Division B from Division A.

Torpedo-2 and Peresvet Domodedovo were relegated from Division B. SKA Rostov-on-Don and Zorkiy Krasnogorsk voluntarily dropped out.[3][4] Sakhalinets Moscow and Khimik-Avgust Vurnary dissolved their professional squads.[5][6] Krasnoye Znamya Noginsk failed licensing for the season.[7]

Elektron Veliky Novgorod moved to Nizhny Novgorod and was renamed to Volna Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.[8]

Pobeda Khasavyurt, Dynamo Stavropol, Kolomna, Orenburg-2 and Akron-2 Tolyatti, which finished the 2023 season in relegation spots, were kept in the league because of the other teams dropping out.

New teams were Angusht Nazran, Lada-Tolyatti, Nart Cherkessk, Oryol, Sokol Kazan and Stroitel Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (promoted from the Russian Amateur Football League), Krylia Sovetov-2 Samara, Pari NN-2 Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-2 and Spartak-2 Moscow (farm clubs of the Russian Premier League teams).[9][10][11][12][13][14]
