Liga 2 (English: League Two), known as Pegadaian Liga 2 for sponsorship reasons with Pegadaian,[1] is the second-tier of the football competition system in Indonesia, organized by Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). The competition started in 2017 after PSSI changed the previous competition Liga Indonesia Premier Division (Indonesian: Divisi Utama Liga Indonesia).

Originally, the Premier Division was the top-tier division when it was first established in 1994 and only became the second tier in 2008 when its place in the top flight was replaced by the newly formed Indonesia Super League.[2] The competition is usually divided into several groups because of factors in terms of geography and number of participants.[3]
