2017 season

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

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.
