The Gozitan Second Division, known as Melita Second Division for sponsorship reasons is the second and lowest level in the Gozo Football League. The league was first competed in 1948.
The Melita Second Division is played in the same manner as the First Division. It is based on three rounds, each team play each other three times, thus the teams in the Second Division play 18 games each in total. The season is usually held between September and April. At the end of the season, the champion is promoted to the First Division and the team finishing in the bottom of the First Division is relegated to the Second Division.
