The 2025 Torneo DIMAYOR (officially known as the 2025 Torneo BetPlay Dimayor season for sponsorship reasons) was the 36th season of the Torneo DIMAYOR since its founding as Colombia's second division football league. The season began on 30 January and ended on 2 December 2025.
Jaguares, who won the Torneo I after defeating Patriotas in the finals, became the first team promoted to the top tier league CategorÃÂa Primera A for the 2026 season after securing a top two finish in the season's aggregate table with a 2âÂÂ2 draw with Cúcuta Deportivo on 11 November 2025. The Torneo II was won by Cúcuta Deportivo, who defeated Real Cundinamarca on penalty kicks in the finals and promoted to Primera A after placing second in the season's aggregate table.
Although the tournament kept the same format that has been used in its most recent editions, with two tournaments per season with three stages each (a single round-robin first stage, two semi-final groups and a two-legged final series), changes were implemented to the method of promotion of teams to CategorÃÂa Primera A for the following season. For this season, the two promoted teams were decided under the following scenarios:
Sixteen teams took part in the season. The previous season's champions Unión Magdalena and runners-up Llaneros were promoted to Primera A for the 2025 season, being replaced in Primera B for this season by Jaguares and Patriotas, who were relegated from Primera A at the end of the 2024 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the top tier's relegation table.
For this season Orsomarso changed their home stadium, moving from their usual venue Estadio Francisco Rivera Escobar in Palmira to Estadio Municipal Raúl Miranda in Yumbo, Valle del Cauca Department after signing an agreement with the Yumbo Municipality to play there for one season. Although Orsomarso played most of their Torneo I home games in Yumbo, they chose to host their final match in that tournament at Estadio Daniel Villa Zapata in Barrancabermeja, aiming to get support from the city's inhabitants while also capitalizing on the local government's desire to have a professional team representing Barrancabermeja. Orsomarso eventually reached an agreement with the city's government and confirmed the relocation of their home matches to Estadio Daniel Villa Zapata starting from this season's Torneo II. The club's youth setup remained based in the Valle del Cauca Department.
The Torneo I, officially known as the Torneo BetPlay Dimayor 2025âÂÂI, was the first tournament of the 2025 season. It began on 30 January and ended on 22 June 2025.
The eight teams that advanced to the semi-finals were drawn into two groups of four teams, with the top two teams from the first stage being seeded in each group. The two group winners advanced to the finals.
Jaguares won 3âÂÂ0 on aggregate.

Since both season champions (Jaguares and Cúcuta Deportivo) also ended up as the top two teams in the aggregate table, both earned automatic promotion to the CategorÃÂa Primera A and the promotion play-off was not played.
