At the top of the Azerbaijan football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. It is contested by 10 clubs, and the league has no promotion and relegation since 2018-19 season. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 28 matches each (playing each team in the league four times, twice at home and twice away).
