History

From 2015 to 2023, there was no fourth-tier competition in the Indonesian football league system following the merger of Liga Nusantara with the First Division, which resulted in the formation of Liga 3 as the lowest tier of the national league structure.

In 2024, PSSI restructured the league system and reintroduced the fourth-tier competition under the name Liga 4, following the elevation of Liga 3 to a semi-professional status operated by I-League.

Format

2024–25 season

Provincial phase

Furthermore, the teams that qualified from the provincial phase competed in national phase. [1]
