The best professional men’s football tier in South Africa is the Premier League, or Premiership, as it’s also known. It combines intrigue and interesting games, packed with action and plenty of surprises. Since its foundation in 1996 it’s managed to climb to fourth spot in the ranking of best African football leagues. Until the 2002-2003 season 18 teams from South Africa competed for the title but since then only 16 remain. They play from August until May in a double round-robin format with the traditional 3-points-per-win system. As traditional, the team ranked the highest in the standings at the end of the season is crowned a champion of South Africa and they, along with the runner-up, get a spot in the CAF Champions League. The one who finished at third spot in the standings of Premier League has a chance to play at CAF Confederation Cup.
The relegation system also comes into play with the bottom club at the standings being demoted to the Motsepe Foundation Championship in favor of the winner from the second division. The second to last team from South Africa Premier League should win in a series of playoffs against the clubs at second and third position from the National First Division.
