Dhaka Third Division Football League

Dhaka Third Division Football League (ঢাকা তৃতীয় বিভাগ ফুটবল লীগ), officially known as Bashundhara Group Third Division (U-17) Football League due to sponsorship reasons and change of format, is the fifth-tier football league in Bangladesh, as well as the third and lowest league division in Dhaka.

It was established in 1948 as the third-tier of the First Division, the Dhaka League, while Bangladesh was still under Pakistani rule. From 2022–23 season, the league is being arranged as an under-17 league.

The league is the lowest division of semi-professional football in the country and the two top-finishing teams are automatically promoted to the Dhaka Second Division Football League. While the bottom two teams are relegated to the country's amateur age-level football league, the Bangladesh Pioneer Football League.
