2024–25 Gamma Ethniki

Gamma Ethniki
Season	2024–25
Dates	September 2024 - April 2025
	← 2023–24 2025–26 →

The 2024–25 Gamma Ethniki will be the 43rd season since the official establishment of the championship in 1982 and the 3rd tier of Greek football after the restructuring of 2021. It has an amateur character, while the Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) is responsible for the conduct of the championship.

The competition is expected to start in September 2024 and conclude in April 2025, and will be conducted in four groups, same as the previous 2023–24 season. 71 teams will be participating and 30 of them will be relegated at the end of the season. The groups were formed according to geographical criteria.^[1] For the 2024-2025 competition season, the deadline for submitting the Declarations of Participation was July 19 2024 for the teams with the right to participate and until 29 July 2024 for the teams invited to fill the gaps, created from the teams that, even though they had earned the right to participate, they chose to withdraw.^[2]

Way of Conduct

After all games of the four groups are played, the champion of each group will be promoted to Super League 2. The seven last teams of each group will be relegated to Local FCA Championships and also 2 more teams will be relegated after a single play-out game in neutral ground. The 11th team of the 1st group will play against the 11th team of the 2nd group and the 11th team of the 3rd group against the 11th team of the 4th group.^[3]
