The 2025–26 Montenegrin Third League is the 20th season since the establishment of the Montenegrin Third League, the season began on 30 August 2025.

Format of competition

[edit]

For the 2025–26 season, the Third league is divided in three geographical regions. Nine teams participate in the North,[1] twelve in the Center,[2] and seven in the South.[3] The new member of the Montenegrin Third League is Ibar who got relegated from the Montenegrin Second League the previous season and they will participate in the Northern League this season.

The teams who got promoted last season from the Montenegrin Third League to the Montenegrin Second League were Berane who were the champions of the North league in the 2024–25 season and Internacional who were the champions of the Central league.

Each team will play each other three times a season and depending on match schedule a team either plays 1 or 2 home games against a different team with the rest of the games being played away. At the end of the season the winners of each regional league will compete in a play-off against each other where each team will play each other once in a round-robin format. The winner will advance directly to the Second League, while the second and third-placed teams will play an additional play-off with the eighth and ninth-placed teams from the Second League.[4]
