II Lyga
Season	2019
	← 2018 →

The 2019 II Lyga season is the third season since return to two divisions system, the twenty-first after switch to spring-to-fall format and the thirty-first overall after the restoration of Independence.

The II Lyga is the third-tier of football in Lithuania. It is divided into the South Zone and the West Zone, this season containing respectively thirteen and ten clubs. The winning teams from each division are promoted to the I Lyga, while the last placed teams from both divisions are relegated to the appropriate regional division of the III Lyga, except in separately regulated cases for the B teams of higher tier clubs.^[1] The final list of participants often does not correlate to the final results of the previous season, as the participation is finalized through the Lithuanian Football Federation league licensing process.
