The Zambian Division One, commonly referred to as Division One, was formerly the second tier of the football league system under the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ). It consisted of sixty-four teams, geographically split into four regional zones as follows:
- Zone Two covering Copperbelt, North-Western and Luapula Provinces
Before the 2019–20 season, the national league system was restructured and the FAZ adopted the CAF season calendar, aligning the competition schedule with that used across African club competitions. Following this reform, Division One was replaced as the second tier by the newly created Zambia National League.
