The 2025 season of the Liga Dominicana de Futbol is the 11th season of Association football in the Dominican Republic. Before the regular season starts, The League will host a transition tournament from February 2025 to May 2025. The league introduced this in order for teams to adapt to the international calendar of most leagues in the world.

Competition system

This transitional tournament, titled Copa de la Liga Dominicana de Fútbol was announced officially on LDF's socials on 25 November 2024. ^[1] Scheduled to begin on February 21, the Cup will feature the last 8 teams from the 2024 season, the return of Jarabacoa F.C. since their FIFA ban, ^[2] as well as three existing clubs from the LDF Expansión segunda división. The three clubs selected were Salcedo FC based in Salcedo, Santa Fe FC, and CBA Santo Domingo, both of which are based in the Zona Metropolitana of Santo Domingo. All three clubs were selected based on factors including general structures, seating capacity in home games, and history. ^[3] The Copa de la LDF is confirmed to play out as a Round-Robin format. Each team will have a total of 11 matches in the regular phase, with the four best teams qualifying for the Semi-finals followed by a final phase of said tournament. ^[4] The winner of the Cup will be granted a spot in the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup 2026. ^[5]

As of February 2025 there is little news regarding the 2025 Regular season of The Liga Dominicana de Futbol other than it being scheduled to begin in late August and ending in May 2026. ^[6] Prior to 2025, the Season consisted of three parts:

• Regular Season: The competition format will have a regular three-round phase, with a minimum of twenty-one matches for all clubs. ^[7] This phase will be played from March to July 2024. The six best qualifiers from the regular phase go to the Liguilla, in a round-robin format. From there, the best four teams advance to the semifinals, with their winners going to the grand final of the LDF 2024, all of which have 2-legged matches. ^[8]

The order of classification of the teams will be determined in a general calculation table, as follows:

• 1) Higher number of points;
• 2) Greater goal difference in favor; in case of equality;
• 3) Higher number of goals scored; in case of equality;
• 4) Highest number of away goals scored; in case of equality;
• 5) Fewest red cards received; in case of equality;
• 6) Fewest yellow cards received; in case of equality;
• 7) Draw.
• Liguilla: The six teams classified from the regular season will play a system of all against all. Each team will play a total of five matches in their own field and in the opposite field, making a total of ten rounds. The top four teams at the end of the League will advance to the Play-offs. The ranking order will be the same as for the Regular Season.
• Play-offs: An elimination system will be played, the first place in the Liguilla will face the fourth place and the second place will face the third. Both keys will be played in two games and the winners will advance to the Grand Final, which will also be played in two games.

Participating Teams
