Super Lig

Super League

Super Lig is the highest level of football championships in Turkey. 18 teams participated in it until last season, but this season their number increased to 21. This happened because the federation decided at the end of the championship  past, there was no drop in the second category. However, at the end of this season, 4 teams will be relegated and 3 will be promoted to the Super League. Thus, the 2021-22 football season will have 20 teams in the composition of the Turkish championship.

Regarding the qualifications for the European competitions, the champion team qualifies for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. The second place team takes part in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. While the third, fourth place and the winner of the Turkish Cup participate in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League.

The most popular teams participating in the Super Lig are Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas. These teams have won 22, 19 and 15 championship titles respectively. Other teams that have tried winning the championship title in Turkey are Trabzonspor with 6 titles and Istanbul Basaksehir and Bursaspor with 1 each.

Last season it was Istansbul Basaksehir who managed to win their first title. This was arguably the biggest achievement in the club's history and followed up with their participation in the 2020-21 edition of the Champions League.
