For this season the league was expanded to 18 teams from the previous 14. On 22 February 2024, the Peruvian Football Federation announced a new format for the Liga 2. All 18 teams were divided into two groups in the Regional Stage based on their geographical location, being the Zona Norte (North Zone) and Zona Sur (South Zone). Each team played each other in a round-robin format and the top six teams advanced to the Group Stage and the bottom three into the Relegation Stage. In the group Stage, the 12 teams were divided into two groups of six, with the top three teams advancing to the play-offs, the first team entering the semi-finals and the next two the quarter-finals. Two teams were promoted to the Liga 1 and one was relegated.[1] The following teams have changed division since the 2023 season:
18 teams took part in the league in this season, four more than the previous season: the top 13 teams from the 2023 tournament, plus the 2023 Copa Perú champions, ADA and semi-finalists San Marcos, Juan Pablo II College, and UCV Moquegua. ADA and San Marcos played in the Liga 2 for the first time in their history this season. Comerciantes Unidos and Los Chankas were promoted to the 2024 Liga 1. Los Chankas promoted to Liga 1 for the first time in their history and Comerciantes Unidos promoted for the first time since 2016.
Academia Cantolao, Binacional, and Deportivo Municipal got relegated from the 2023 Liga 1. Alfonso Ugarte got relegated to the Copa Perú after being disqualified in the 2023 season.
Juan Aurich and Union Huaral had their licenses withdrawn for not fulfilling the requirements to participate set by the FPF and were disqualified from the competition.[2]
