The 2026 Torneo DIMAYOR (officially known as the 2026 Torneo BetPlay DIMAYOR season for sponsorship reasons) is the 37th season of the Torneo DIMAYOR since its founding as Colombia's second division football league. The season began on 23 January 2026.
Teams Sixteen teams take part in the season. The previous season's champions Jaguares and Cúcuta Deportivo were promoted to Liga DIMAYOR for the 2026 season after securing the top two places of the aggregate table, being replaced in Torneo DIMAYOR for this season by Envigado and Unión Magdalena, who were relegated from the first tier at the end of the 2025 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the relegation table.
Following the closure of Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid due to structural damage, the owners of Atlético Huila made a request to move from Neiva to Yumbo, Valle del Cauca, which was approved by the Assembly of Dimayor on 11 December 2025. As part of the agreement reached with the Yumbo Municipality, which requested the club not to use the Atlético Huila name and also due to the sale of the club's brand and colors to a local entrepreneur, a new club named Independiente Yumbo was presented on 1 January 2026. On 3 July 2026, Independiente Yumbo announced a new relocation, this time to Palmira, being rebranded to Independiente Valle del Cauca in the process.
In addition to this, Real Cundinamarca relocated to Mosquera, Cundinamarca following the completion of the construction of the town's municipal stadium, while Orsomarso returned to Yumbo for the second half of the 2026 season, after having played their home matches in Barrancabermeja for one year.
