Format
The league consists of 148 teams divided geographically into 13 groups, with each group containing a different number of teams, depending on clubs' hometowns:
 * Group A, B, C and D for teams from Upper Egypt.
 * Group E and F for teams from Greater Cairo.
 * Group G for teams from north-eastern governorates and South Sinai.
 * Group H, I and J for teams from central and northern governorates.
 * Group K for teams from Alexandria and Beheira.
 * Group L for teams from North Sinai.
 * Group M for teams from Matruh.

The number of promoted and relegated teams differs from a group to another, according to the competition's regulation for the 2023–24 season.

The top team from each 13 group earns direct promotion to the Egyptian Second Division B. In group E, F, H, I, J and K, the bottom two teams are relegated to the Egyptian Fourth Division, while in group A, B, C, D, G, L and M, only the last-placed team face relegation, for a total of 19 teams.

Group G is split into two groups, G2 for teams from South Sinai, and G1 for the remainder teams. The top two teams from G1 advance to the promotion play-offs, alongside the first-placed team from G2, to decide the promoted team to Second Division B. Only the team finishing last in G1 are relegated, with no teams from G2 facing relegation.
