About Football Superleague of Kosovo

The Football Superleague of Kosovo is the highest level of professional football in Kosovo, organized by the Football Federation of Kosovo. It currently features ten clubs competing in a season where each team plays 36 matches, facing every other club four times. At the end of the season, the lowest-ranked teams are relegated to the second-tier league, while top performers qualify for European competitions.

The league has historical roots dating back to 1945, when it existed as the Kosovo Province League within the Yugoslav system. During the 1990s, amid political tensions, an independent parallel league operated outside official structures. After the Kosovo War, a unified national competition was re-established under its current format, becoming the main football championship in the country.

Following Kosovo’s admission to UEFA and FIFA in 2016, the Superleague gained international recognition, allowing its clubs to compete in European tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa Conference League. While still developing, the league has improved its standing in European rankings, with clubs like Prishtina and Drita achieving domestic success and contributing to its growing reputation.
