The Segunda División is the second professional futsal league in Spain. It was founded in 1993 with the name of División de Plata.[1] Administered by Liga Nacional de Fútbol Sala, it is contested by 16 teams and is played under UEFA rules, with the champion team and the winner of a play-off promoted to Primera División and replaced by the two lowest-placed teams in that division.

Liga championship rules
editEach team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in Segunda División de Futsal the league ends after every team plays 30 matches.
Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Segunda División de Futsal takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One unusual feature of the league is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the stadiums used.
Each victory adds 3 points to the team in the league ranking. Each drawn adds 1 point.head-to-head. At the end of the league, the winner is:
- The team that has most points in the ranking.
- If two or more teams are level on points, the winner is the team that has the best results
- If there is no winner after applying the second rule, then the team with the best overall goal difference wins.
