2025 Belarusian First League is the 35th season of 2nd level football in Belarus. It started in March and will finish in November 2024.
Team changes from 2024 season
Two best teams of 2024 Belarusian First League (Molodechno and Maxline Vitebsk) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. They were replaced by two last-placed teams of 2024 Belarusian Premier League (Dnepr Mogilev and Shakhtyor Soligorsk). Third-placed club Niva Dolbizno lost promotion/relegation play-off against Naftan Novopolotsk and remained in the First League for another season.
Two last placed teams of the last season (Torpedo-BelAZ-2 Zhodino and Energetik-BGU Minsk) relegated to the Second League. They were replaced by two best teams of 2024 Belarusian Second League (Minsk-2 and Partizan Soligorsk), although Partizan rejected promotion opportunity for the third time in a row.
After Shakhtyor Soligorsk were relegated from the Premier League, their farm club Shakhtyor-2 Soligorsk were automatically excluded from the First League. Shakhtyor Soligorsk themselves also withdrew from the league, after failing to apply for the license, in addition to having huge debts and a transfer ban.[1]
Following the withdrawals of Shakhtyor, Shakhtyor-2 and Partizan, additional promotion spots were granted to Unixlabs Minsk, Gomel-2 and Osipovichi (4th, 5th and 9th-placed teams of the Second League).
ABFF-managed team ABFF U-17 was renamed to ABFF U-19, in accordance with the selected players' ages.
