The 2024 División Intermedia season, named "Homenaje a Daniel Giménez, Félix Quiñonez e Isidoro Benítez", is the 106th season of the second-tier league of Paraguayan football and the 27th under the División Intermedia name. The season began on 5 April and is scheduled to end on 14 October 2024, and the fixtures for the season were drawn on 28 November 2023.[1] [2]
16 teams take part in the competition, which is played under a double round-robin system with teams playing each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 30 matches. The top two teams at the end of the season will be promoted to the Paraguayan Primera División for the 2025 season, while the bottom three teams in the relegation table at the end of the season will be relegated: teams located within 50 kilometres of Asunción are relegated to Primera División B, while teams from outside Greater Asunción and the Central Department are relegated to Primera División B Nacional.
16 teams compete in the season: 11 teams from the previous División Intermedia season plus the two teams relegated from Primera División in its 2023 season (Guaireña and Resistencia), the 2023 Primera División B champions Tembetary, the 2023 Primera División B Nacional champions 12 de Junio, and the 2022–23 Campeonato Nacional de Interligas champions Encarnación.[3]
