Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 2

Originally, the league was played in two groups, the northern and southern groups, the winners of which qualified for promotion to the Ligue Professionnelle 1. Exceptionally, in the 1958–59 season, the teams were divided into a total of four different groups. Despite this, winning the group did not really matter, only the two best teams with the most points advanced. The two-group system continued until the 1964–65 season, until the next five seasons from 1965 to 1970, only a single league was played, in which the top two teams in the league advanced to the Ligue Professionnelle 1. The 1982–83, 1983–84 and 1984–85 seasons were played in three different groups, the northern, central and southern groups, of which the top two group winners advanced to the main league. The system then reverted to a single league until the 1994–95 season, after which a single season was played in a two-division system. In addition, in the 1998–99 season, teams were unable to qualify for the main league, which reduced the number of teams in the main league from 16 to 12. Since the 1999–2000 season, Ligue Professionnelle 2 has been played as a single league. The most championships in history have been won by Club Olympique des Transports. It has won Ligue Professionnelle 2 seven times, only once in the 1982–83 season when it failed to advance to the main league. == Format ==

In the current format of two groups of 14 clubs each, the rules are as follows: • Promotion to Ligue Professionnelle 1: The top-ranked teams from each group (usually the first or two) are promoted directly or via playoffs. A final often pits the winners of the two groups against each other to determine the Ligue Professionnelle 2 champion, an honorary title. Typically, two teams are promoted per season. • Relegation to Ligue 3: The bottom-ranked teams from each group (usually the bottom two or three) are relegated, for a total of three to four relegations depending on the season and adjustments. ==Media coverage==

The broadcasting rights for Ligue Professionnelle 2 until the end of the 2009–10 season were awarded to Hannibal TV for 150,000 dinars. In September 2025, the Tunisian Football Federation indicated that the broadcasting rights for the 2025–26 season had not yet been sold, allowing clubs to broadcast their home matches themselves via their digital platforms. In October, an agreement was reached between the Federation and Diwan Sport for the broadcasting (including digital) of Ligue Professionnelle 2. In November, an agreement was signed with the Télévision Tunisienne for the rights to Tunisian football (primarily Ligue Professionnelle 1, but also the best Ligue Professionnelle 2 matches) for the 2025–26, 2026–27, and 2027–28 seasons. A large number of Ligue Professionnelle 2 matches are also streamed by the clubs via their official channels (YouTube and Facebook), while the Diwan Sport platform provides additional digital coverage (live and highlights) for both professional divisions.

The list below includes the winners of the Tunisian second division championship (Ligue Professionnelle 2). In multi-group formats, several champions are sometimes determined by region or via playoffs. Since the late 1980s (and consolidated in the 2000s), a single champion is generally proclaimed (often with a final between the group winners). From the late 1980s (and further solidified in the 2000s), the league evolved towards a format with a single champion per season (an honorary title, often decided by a final or playoff), even though several teams were promoted through the group stage standings. This evolution aimed in particular to: • Simplify the competition and the standings; • Harmonize Ligue Professionnelle 2 with the professional Ligue Professionnelle 1 (from 1994); • Improve clarity for fans and media coverage (limited but increasing coverage for the finals). The table below presents the modern rankings since the 2000–01 season, with single champions and finalists/scores when a final is played. ==References==
