The 2009–10 TFF Second League season is the ninth since its introduction as the third level of the Turkish football pyramid and the fifth consecutive season where the current format is being used. It began on 30 August 2009 with the first matches of the ranking groups and will end in late May 2010 with the last matches of the promotion playoffs.

Competition format

The 2009–10 season started with 45 teams distributed over four "ranking groups". Each ranking group comprised eleven teams (with the exception of Group 3, which featured twelve teams) according to geographical criteria. The teams of each group played a conventional double round-robin schedule against the other teams of their group.

Upon conclusion of the ranking groups, the best two sides of each eleven-team group and the best three sides of the twelve-team group advanced to the "promotion group", while the remaining nine teams remained in their respective groups, which were now called "classification groups". The teams of the classification groups retained their complete records in the process. As in the previous round, each team played a double round-robin schedule against the other teams of its respective group.

A total of three promotion spots to the TFF First League were played out. Two of them were reserved for the best two teams of the promotion group, which were directly promoted. The third spot was decided through a play-off round and was competed among the teams ranked third through sixth of the promotion group and the winners of the four classification groups. The bottom three teams of the classification groups were directly relegated to the TFF Third League.
