The 3. Liga (known as TIPOS III. Liga due to sponsorship reasons)[1] is the third-tier football league in Slovakia, established in 1993. As of the 2025–26 season, it comprises 44 teams divided into three geographical groups: 3. liga Západ (West), 3. Liga Stred (Central), and 3. liga Východ (East). The league operates under the jurisdiction of the Slovak Football Association and serves as a feeder league to the 2. Liga, with top-performing teams earning promotion. Conversely, teams finishing at the bottom face relegation to the 4. Liga. The league also provides teams the opportunity to compete in the national Slovak Cup.
