The **Pakistan Football Federation League B Division** ([Urdu](/source/Urdu_language): پاکستان فٹ بال فیڈریشن لیگ) commonly known and abbreviated as **PFF League**, is a Pakistani league for men's [football](/source/Association_football) departments and clubs which are in the [Pakistan football league system](/source/Pakistan_football_league_system), and is the country's second-tier [competition](/source/Football_in_Pakistan). Contested by 18 departments and clubs, it operates on a system of [promotion and relegation](/source/Promotion_and_relegation) with the top-tier [Pakistan Premier League](/source/Pakistan_Premier_League).

Each season, the two top-finishing teams from the PFFL's club phase and the departmental phase are automatically promoted to the [Pakistan Premier League](/source/Pakistan_Premier_League), and the winner of the final between club phase and departmental phase is crowned the PFF League champion.

## History

The PFF League was founded in 2004 to serve as the second division for the newly re-branded [Pakistan Premier League](/source/Pakistan_Premier_League). The league's name was originally planned as 'National League Division B',[1] however it was ultimately branded as PFF League since its formation.[2][3]

Its inaugural season was won by [National Bank](/source/NBP_F.C.) and Pakistan Public Works Department were the runners-up. [Baloch Quetta](/source/Baloch_Quetta_F.C.) is the team that has spent the most time in the PFF League, a total of nine seasons.

In 2006, the Pakistan Football Federation introduced the [National Club Championship](/source/Pakistan_National_Club_Championship) as a third tier beneath the PFF League.[4][5][6]

In February 2020, after six years, [Pakistan Football Federation](/source/Pakistan_Football_Federation) announced the [2020 edition](/source/2020_PFF_League) of the PFF League to be held across 4 cities ([Quetta](/source/Quetta), [Faisalabad](/source/Faisalabad), [Karachi](/source/Karachi), and [Lahore](/source/Lahore)).

## Promotion
