Procedural due process deals with governmental methods and how they are used, whereas substantive due process deals with the fairness of laws.
procedural due process focuses on the fairness of the legal process itself in ensuring individual rights are protected, while substantive due process addresses the actual content or substance of the laws being applied and their impact on individual liberties.
The two categories of due process are substantive due process and procedural due process. Substantive due process relates to liberty interests protected by the Constitution; procedural due process ensures legal proceedings are conducted in a fair and consistent manner.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Procedural due process has to do with the how (the procedures, the methods) of governmental action. Substantive due process involves the what (the substance, the policies of governmental action).
Procedural defenses focus on the process of the legal case, such as lack of jurisdiction or improper service of process, and can result in the case being dismissed without addressing the merits. Substantive defenses address the actual legal arguments of the case, such as statute of limitations or lack of evidence, and seek to show that the plaintiff's claim is without merit.
substantive due process
Substantive law is the statutory or written law that governs rights and obligations of those who are subject to it. Substantive law defines the legal relationship of people with other people or between them and the state. Substantive law stands in contrast to procedural law, which comprises the rules by which a court hears and determines what happens in civil or criminal proceedings. Procedural law deals with the method and means by which substantive law is made and administered. The time allowed for one party to sue another and the rules of law governing the process of the lawsuit are examples of procedural laws. Substantive law defines crimes and punishments (in the criminal law) as well as civil rights and responsibilities in civil law. It is codified in legislated statutes or can be enacted through the initiative process. Another way of summarizing the difference between substantive and procedural is as follows: Substantive rules of law define rights and duties, while procedural rules of law provide the machinery for enforcing those rights and duties. However, the way to this clear differentiation between substantive law and, serving the substantive law, procedural law has been long, since in the Roman civil procedure the actio included both substantive and procedural elements.
Substantive due process addresses a law's fairness, while procedural due process addresses how a law is implemented.
