The Dimayor has set the schedule and competition format for the second half of the 2022 season, clarifying how the campaigns in BetPlay Dimayor, the Tournament, and the Cup will unfold.
During the latest League Council, the league body confirmed that the second half will follow the same structure as the first, featuring the regular phase, a quadrangular stage, and the final. The First Division will keep the 20-team format that characterized 2022-I, with the same path to crowning the champion across all official tournaments.
Action on the field resumes the weekend after June kicks off, continuing through late November, with the broader calendar mindful of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The season’s second champion will be decided in that window, reinforcing a seamless bridge between the two halves of the year.
The focus now is to outline everything a fan needs to know about the championship for the second half of 2022.
FORMAT
Dimayor has reaffirmed that the second semester will reuse the same system as the first championship. Twenty rounds will be played in the opening phase, including the classic matches, involving all 20 teams. The eight best teams then move to the Quadrangular semi-final, where profits toward the ultimate finalists are decided.
Phase I – All against All (20 teams)
- 20 dates
- classic derbies
- Top 8 advance to Phase II once Stage I finishes
Phase II – Home Runs
- 6 dates – return legs
- The eight qualifiers are split into two groups
- The top team from each group advances to the Grand Final
Phase III – Final
- 2 dates – return legs
- The two group winners meet in the final stage
- In the second leg, the home team is determined by the accumulated points from Phase I and Phase II
