2016 season

Categoría Primera B, commonly referred to as Torneo Águila^[1] due to sponsorship by brewery company Bavaria (manufacturer of Águila beer), is the second division football league in Colombia.

Format

DIMAYOR has applied a new format from 2015 onwards because of the expansion to 20 teams in the Primera A tournament. The league will no longer have Apertura and Finalización seasons but rather a year long tournament with home and away games. The first phase of the tournament is everyone against everyone home and away games. The second is a two-groups phase with the 8 top teams from the season who play each other to determine the winners of each group. The winners of the two groups are both promoted to the Primera A and play the final in home and away games to determine the champion of the season.
