The 2004–05 Czech 2. Liga was the 12th season of the 2. česká fotbalová liga, the second tier of the Czech football league. Following a corruption scandal, Viktoria Žižkov were deducted 12 points.[1] Vítkovice also received a points deduction: for bribery in two of their matches the previous season, they were deducted 9 points.[2] In February 2005, Bohemians lost their license to play in the league and thus their results were expunged and the second half of the season was played with only 15 teams.[3]

In May 2005, Most, lead by head coach Přemysl Bičovský, celebrated promotion to the Czech First League for the first time in their history, after beating Sparta Prague B.[4] The final round of matches, originally scheduled to take place at a weekend, were moved back to Thursday, 9 June, after the league's board intervened.[5] That day, Vysočina Jihlava became the second team to secure promotion to the Czech First League, also for the first time. FK Tatran Prachatice were relegated despite winning their final match.[6] After the end of the season, Viktoria Plzeň became the third team to be promoted, administratively replacing FK Drnovice, who were refused a professional license for the following season.[7]

Horst Siegl of Most was the league's top scorer with 16 goals, one ahead of Pavel Simr of Vysočina Jihlava. After scoring just four goals in the first half of the season, Siegl added 12 in the spring part of the campaign.[8]
