The Russian Premier League is the top professional football division in Russia. This league kicked off in 2001 and has been administered ever since by the Russian Football Premier League.

Like many European leagues, this competition operates on a promotion-relegation system. The two top-ranked teams every season earn spots in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. An additional berth is awarded to the third-placed team, but that spot requires them to fight for a spot in the tournament’s qualifying rounds. Three additional spots are granted for other teams to play in the Europa League; one of them grants access to the group stage, while two more spots give way to play in the qualifying rounds of the competition.

On the other side of the table, the two worst teams of the season are relegated to the Russian Football National League. The 13th and 14th placed teams enter a playoff stage against the 3rd and 4th-ranked teams in the Russian FNL. The winner of each tie secures a spot in the Russian Premier League, meaning that up to four teams can get relegated every year.

The 2017-18 season saw Lokomotiv Moscow winning the title, this being their third championship since the league’s rebranding. Tosno and Khabarovsk were relegated to the RFNL, with Orenburg, Krylya Sovetov, and Yenisey taking their spots. Anzhi Makhachkala retained their spot in the Russian Premier League after Amkar Perm was deemed ineligible to play in the Russian Premier League.

The 2018-19 season starts on July 28, 2018. The last game of this competition is scheduled to be played on May 26, 2019.

Did you know? Spartak Moscow is the most winning team in this competition, with ten titles to their name (considering all winners since Russia became an independent country).
