The Ecuadorian football league system is a series of interconnected football leagues for clubs in Ecuador, and is governed by the Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol at the national level.
This is by far the largest level in the league system in terms of number of teams.
Teams in this category play within their provincial associations to qualify to a larger national tournament.
After the tournaments finish at the end of the calendar year, teams are relegated or promoted to different levels.
