3. Lig - Group 1 (Turkey)

TFF 3. Lig - Group 1 (Turkey) (TFF 3. Lig, 1. Grup) - one of the four regional groups of Türkiye’s third professional division organised by the Turkish Football Federation (Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu, TFF). Regulations: the group is contested by 16 teams in a double round-robin home-and-away league, with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. If teams are level on points, the TFF tie-break rules apply: for two tied teams, head-to-head points are considered first, then head-to-head goal difference, then overall goal difference and goals scored, with no advantage from away goals in head-to-head matches, and if still level the absence of forfeit losses is considered and, where required, an additional match is played. for three or more tied teams, a mini-table of matches among the tied teams is used with points, goal difference and goals scored checked in order, then overall goal difference and goals scored, then the absence of forfeit losses and, where required, additional match or matches. The group winner is promoted directly to TFF 2. Lig, while the teams finishing 2nd to 5th enter the promotion play-offs for the remaining two promotion places: Round 1 is two-legged with 2nd vs 5th and 3rd vs 4th and the first leg hosted by the lower finisher, Round 2 is also two-legged, and the group play-off winner advances to the final stage where the four group play-off winners play single-match semi-finals on neutral venues as Group 1 v Group 2 and Group 3 v Group 4. In two-legged play-off ties, the winner is decided by total goals over the two matches, and if level extra time is played in the second leg followed by penalties, while the neutral-venue single-match finals also use extra time and penalties if level. Teams finishing 13th to 16th in the group are relegated to the Regional Amateur League (Bölgesel Amatör Lig).
