Ykkösliiga (English: "League One"; Swedish: "Ligaettan") is the second highest level of the Finnish football league system (after the Veikkausliiga), managed by the Football Association of Finland. The teams in Ykkösliiga also play a pre-season league cup, the Ykkösliigacup.

The nationwide second-tier league was first established in 1973 as I divisioona. It was later renamed Ykkönen, starting in 1994. The new and current Ykkösliiga started running in 2024, and the former second-tier Ykkönen continues as the new third-tier level.
