Categoría Primera B, commonly referred to as Torneo BetPlay Dimayor due to sponsorship by online betting company BetPlay (formerly Torneo Águila),[1] is the second-division football league in Colombia.
Format
DIMAYOR has applied a new format from 2015 onwards because of the expansion to 20 teams in the Primera A tournament. The league will no longer have Apertura and Finalización seasons but rather a yearlong tournament with home and away games. The first phase of the tournament is everyone against everyone home and away games. The second is a two-groups phase with the 8 top teams from the season who play each other to determine the winners of each group. The winners of the two groups are both promoted to the Primera A and play the final in home and away games to determine the champion of the season.

Notes
- ↑ Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia, DIMAYOR decided to suspend promotion and relegation in the 2020 season. As a result of this situation, it was agreed that the 2021–I tournament champion would face the 2020 Primera B tournament champion in a double-legged series to decide one promoted team and define the great champion. This season featured two champions: Deportes Quindío as 2021–I tournament champion and Atlético Huila as Grand Final 2021–I champion.
