The Super Lig (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈsypaɾ liɟ], Super League) is a Turkish professional league for association football clubs. It is the top-flight of the Turkish football league system and is run by the Turkish Football Federation. Twenty clubs compete annually, where a champion is decided and three clubs are promoted and relegated from, and to, the 1. Lig. The season runs from August to May, with each club playing 38 matches. Matches are played Friday through Monday.
The competition was initially established as the Milli Lig (National League) in 1959 - the first professional nationwide league competition held in Turkey. The league succeeded the Turkish Football Championship and the National Division, both being former top-level national competitions. The Super Lig is currently 13th in the UEFA coefficient ranking of leagues based on club performances in European competitions over the last five years. A total of 73 clubs have competed in the Super Lig, but only six have won the title to date: Galatasaray (22), Fenerbahce (19), Besiktas (16), Trabzonspor (6), Bursaspor (1) and Istanbul Basaksehir (1).
