BOV CHALLENGE LEAGUE

Just like last season, the BOV Challenge League will feature 16 teams this season.

All teams will play 15 games in the first round, after which they will be split. The top eight teams will form the Top 8 Group, while the remaining eight clubs will form a Play-Out Group. Following the second round, the top two teams from the Top 8 Group will be promoted, while the bottom two teams from the Play-Out Group will be relegated.

The first matchday of the BOV Challenge League will take place on the weekend of 13th and 14 September 2025.

Some of the opening day fixtures to look out for include the derby between recently-relegated Melita FC and Swieqi United, while newly-promoted sides Birzebbuga St Peter's FC and Vittoriosa Stars FC will be taking on Pietà Hotspurs FC and Sirens FC, respectively.

BOV AMATEUR LEAGUE I

The BOV Amateur League I will contain 14 teams this time out, a reduction in teams when compared to last season’s 16.
