Liga IV Brăila is one of the regional football divisions of Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system, for clubs based in Brăila County, and is organized by AJF Brăila – Asociația Județeană de Fotbal ().
It is contested by a variable number of teams, depending on the number of teams relegated from Liga III, the number of teams promoted from Liga V Brăila, and the teams that withdraw or enter the competition. The winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending on the result of a promotion play-off contested against the winner of a neighboring county series.
History The Brăila County Championship was formed in 1968 and placed under the authority of the newly created Consiliul Județean pentru Educație Fizică și Sport () in Brăila County. This occurred as part of the broader new administrative and territorial reorganization of the country, during which each county established its own football championship, integrating teams from the former regional championships as well as those that had previously competed in town and rayon level competitions.
Since then, the structure and organization of Brăila’s main county competition, like those of other county championships, have undergone numerous changes. Between 1968 and 1992, it was known as Campionatul Județean (County Championship). In 1992, it was renamed Divizia C – Faza Județeană (Divizia C – County Phase), became Divizia D in 1997, and has been known as Liga IV since 2006.
Promotion The champions of each county association play against one another in a play-off to earn promotion to Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total, there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
