The Süper Lig is the name of the top football category in Turkey. Like many of Europe's other leagues, eighteen teams battle each season to win the title and to avoid relegation. The three worst teams every year are relegated to the TFF First League, with three teams from that category being promoted. This league had its inaugural season under its current format in 1959 under the name “Milli Lig”.

The 2017-18 season saw Galatasaray extending their lead as the most-winning team in Turkish football by claiming their 21st title. On the other side of the table, Osmanlispor, Genclerbirligi, and Kardemir Karabukspor were relegated to the TFF First League, leaving their spots to Rizespor, Ankaragucü, and Erzurum. 

The 2018-19 season kicked off on August 10, 2018, and will come to an end in May of 2019. This league’s champion will earn a spot in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, while the runner-up will eventually enter the competition during the previous rounds. Two more spots for European competitions are up for grabs for those teams that finish in third and fourth place.

Did you know…? Only five teams have been able to win the Süper Lig title since its creation: Galatasaray (21 titles), Fenerbahce (19 titles), Besiktas (15 titles), Trabzonspor (six titles), and Bursaspor (one title).
