South Korean football league season
Football league season
The 2025 K3 League is the sixth season of the semi-professional K3 League, the third-highest league of men’s football in South Korea.
On 11 August 2025, Gimhae FC 2008 and Paju Citizen were approved to join the K League 2 since the 2026 season after switching to professional teams in the fourth meeting of the K League Federation. This season was their last season at semi-professional leagues.[2]
The pre-season winter transfer window opened between 1 January 2025 and 24 March 2025, and the summer transfer window opened between 20 June 2025 and 31 July 2025.[citation needed]
The 2025 season was held from 1 March to 8 November, and consisted of 30 rounds with each team playing 28 matches.[3][4] One team took a rest in each round as the number of participating teams was odd number.[4]
While fifteen teams competed in the 2025 season, each of them had to include at least three under-23 players in the matchday squad, and at least one of those players had to include in the starting line-up.[5]
The 15th-placed team advanced to the relegation play-off, where they played runners-up of the 2025 K4 League.[6]
There was generally no promotion or relegation between the K3 League and the K League 2, but Hwaseong FC qualified for the K League 2 after succeeding to turn professional at the end of 2024 season.[7][8]
Previously known as Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors B, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors N participated after winning the 2024 K4 League.[9] Daegu FC B were directly relegated as the lowest-ranked team of the 2024 season.[10]
