The Football League, known for sponsorship reasons as the Stoiximan.gr Football League (after gambling website Stoiximan.gr), is the second highest professional football league in Greece, being a feeder-league to the top-level Superleague Greece.
The 2017–18 Football League is the second division of the Greek professional football league system and the seventh season under the name Football League after previously being known as Beta Ethniki. It will start at 28 October.
The Greek Football League standings are calculated based off a points system used across the soccer world. Three points are awarded for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. The team with the most points at the conclusion of the Football League (34 fixtures) is considered the Football League Champion. The 2nd place team, along with the champion, are promoted to the Greek SuperLeague for the following season. The 4 last placed teams are relegated to the Gamma Ethniki (3rd Division) whereas the 4 group winners from the Gamma Ethniki are promoted to the Football League.
