The Maltese Third Division (also known as the Bank of Valletta Third Division) is the lowest league level in Maltese football. There are currently 19 teams participating in the league.
The 2007/08 Division Three will comprise two sections - one with ten teams and the other nine. Both sections play two rounds with the winner in each group getting promoted to the Maltese Second Division. Relegation play-offs between the 2nd and 3rd placed teams of both groups and the 10th place finisher of Second Division will determine the third team to be in the Second Division.
Because it is the lowest level in the Maltese Football League, there is no formal relegation from the league. However, in the 2007/08 season, Mtarfa F.C. have replaced Ta' Xbiex after their league application was turned down, mainly due to their poor performances over the last few years.
Zebbug and Gozo were promoted to the 2nd Division.
These teams will contest Section A in 2008/09:
Sirens, Attard, Xghajra, Mdina, Qrendi, Fgura, Siggiewi, Zejtun, Ghaxaq and Mtarfa
These teams will contest Section B in 2008/09:
Zurrieq, Gzira, Gharghur, Pembroke, Gudja, Luqa, Santa Lucia, Kalkara and Kirkop
