==History==

=== Pre-Independence === Since 1914, Indonesia (then still called the Dutch East Indies) had an amateur national football league called Stedenwedstrijden (Dutch East Indies city championship). This competition ran in an organized and continuous manner until 1950, organized by the '''Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbalbond''' (NIVB) from 1919 to 1935, then continued by the '''Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Unie''' (NIVU) from 1936 to 1948, and finally by the '''Ikatan Sepak Raga Negara Indonesia Serikat''' (ISNIS) in 1949–1950. Initially exclusive to the Dutch and other European players, by the late 1920s the competition became more inclusive, allowing participation from Bumiputera (indigenous) and Chinese players, though still limited to the elite. All members of the Dutch East Indies national football team who played in the 1938 FIFA World Cup came from this league.

At the same time, in 1930 '''PSSI''' was established as a form of resistance against NIVB's dominance and organized a parallel competition from 1931 to 1943 specifically for Bumiputera players. This competition later became the precursor of Perserikatan after independence.

Meanwhile, the Chinese community also held their own competition from 1917 to 1950, organized by the '''Comité Kampioenswedstrijden Tiong Hoa''' (CKTH) since 1927, and then by the '''Hwa Nan Voetbalbond''' (HNVB) from 1930 to 1950.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arsipsepakbolaindonesia.com/p/stedenwedstrijden.html|title=Stedenwedstrijden|website=Arsip Sepakbola Indonesia|language=id|access-date=2025-08-26}}</ref>

=== Post-independence ===

==== Perserikatan and Galatama ==== The first national competition organized by PSSI after independence was Perserikatan in 1951, an amateur league that brought together teams based on regions or cities in Indonesia. Historically, Perserikatan was the successor competition that replaced the Stedenwedstrijden, which had previously been organized by ISNIS (Ikatan Sepak Raga Negara Indonesia Serikat). Perserikatan served as the main platform of Indonesian football until the late 1970s.

In 1979–80, a semi-professional league was founded, namely Galatama (''Premier League''), which consisted of only one level of competition (except 1983 and 1990 in which it involved 2 divisions). Therefore, since 1979, both Galatama and Perserikatan were existed and had their own league systems.

==== 1994–2008: Liga Indonesia ==== In 1994, PSSI merged both competitions into a new competition system, namely the ''Liga Indonesia''. All clubs from both top-level leagues were merged into the Liga Indonesia Premier Division, the new system's top-flight league. Furthermore, since Galatama did not have lower-level leagues, Liga Indonesia's lower leagues took all clubs from the same level in Perserikatan. PSSI formed '''Badan Liga Indonesia''' to operate the new ''Liga Indonesia''.<ref name="cnn" /><ref name="sindonews" /><ref name="kompas" />

==== 2008–2011: ISL ==== In 2008, PSSI created a new level, the Indonesia Super League (ISL), as the system's new top-flight league. Hence, the Premier Division was then relegated to the second and so on. This new league was created to introduce full professionalism in Indonesian football. PSSI also formed '''PT Liga Indonesia''' to operate and organize the new league structure as a continuation of ''Badan Liga Indonesia''.<ref name="kompas" />

In parallel with this league, U-21 teams from each participating ISL clubs compete in the ISL U-21.

==== 2011–2014: Dualism ==== In 2011, PSSI replaced the ISL with the Indonesian Premier League (IPL) under a new league operator, ''PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo'' (LPIS).<ref name="kompas" />

After the extraordinary congress on 17 March 2013, Premier League and Super League are in PSSI supervision prior to incorporation in 2014 under the name of Indonesia Super League. Before that the two leagues were still running, respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bola.tempo.co/read/467595/hasil-kongres-luar-biasa-pssi-hari-ini|title=Hasil Kongres Luar Biasa PSSI Hari Ini|author1=Haryanto Tri Wibowo|author2=Anry Dhanniary|editor=Rini Kustiani|date=17 March 2013|website=Tempo.co|language=id|access-date=8 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190905015710/https://bola.tempo.co/read/467595/hasil-kongres-luar-biasa-pssi-hari-ini|archive-date=5 September 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==== 2014–2015: Dualism ended and FIFA sanction ==== '''In 2014''', PSSI divided into four level leagues competition include Super League, Premier Division, First Division and Amateur League/Province League called Liga Nusantara.

Started '''in 2015''' league planned just divided into three level leagues competition include Super League, Premier Division and Liga Nusantara, after first division merged with Liga Nusantara.

However, the league season in 2015 was paused at first due to threats of sanctions from ''Badan Olahraga Profesional Indonesia'' (BOPI) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports on PSSI and PT LI because two ISL clubs, Arema and Persebaya, didn't get BOPI recommendations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Raya |first=Mercy |date=2015-04-02 |title=Menpora Bisa Jatuhkan Sanksi Jika PSSI dan PT Liga Membandel |url=https://sport.detik.com/sepakbola/liga-indonesia/d-2877386/menpora-bisa-jatuhkan-sanksi-jika-pssi-dan-pt-liga-membandel |access-date=2023-11-23 |website=sepakbola |publisher=detikcom |language=id-ID}}</ref> This got FIFA's attention who threatened to ban Indonesian football altogether due to external meddling from BOPI and the Ministry in PSSI affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nuralam |first=Cakrayuri |date=2015-04-11 |title=Gara-gara Menpora dan BOPI, PSSI Terancam Sanksi FIFA |url=https://www.liputan6.com/bola/read/2211771/gara-gara-menpora-dan-bopi-pssi-terancam-sanksi-fifa |access-date=2023-11-23 |website=liputan6.com |language=id}}</ref> After the Ministry outright froze PSSI out from organizing football competitions in Indonesia, FIFA sanctioned PSSI on 30 May 2015 hence the competition was then discontinued.<ref name="kompas" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Al Fauzi |first=Furqon |date=2020-05-29 |title=Sabtu Kelabu 5 Tahun Lalu, Indonesia Disanksi FIFA |url=https://www.skor.id/post/sabtu-kelabu-5-tahun-lalu-indonesia-disanksi-fifa-01338481 |access-date=2023-11-23 |website=www.skor.id |language=id}}</ref> PT Liga Indonesia was then closed by PSSI in 2016.<ref name="kompas" />

==Competition format== From the 1994–1995 to 2004–2005 season, Liga Indonesia's structure changed almost every year. For some seasons, there were two divisions within the top flight; for others, there were three. The number of clubs in the top flight wavered from 18 to 28, and seasons would last from 34 to 38 games. The top four clubs in each division qualified for a group stage "Final Eight Championship Playoff." Winners of the group faced off for the championship.

During the 2004–2005 season, 18 clubs comprised the Indonesian top flight. A season lasted 34 games, in which each club played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The three teams at the bottom of the table are relegated into Division Satu, the second level of the Indonesian league system, while the three teams of Division Satu that won promotion replace them. The top two finishers in the league qualify for the AFC Champions League.

Starting with the 2003–2004 season, the championship was decided a double round-robin league system involving the top clubs of each division. Beginning with the 2005–2006 season, 28 clubs will comprise Liga Indonesia. Clubs compete in two divisions of 14 clubs each. Each club plays against each other on a home-and-away basis.

The league's popularity has grown so much that the 2006–2007 season will see another big expansion of the league from 28 to 36 clubs with both divisions comprising 18 clubs each.

In 2008, 18 top ranked clubs in the previous Premier Division were 'promoted' to a new highest level of competition, the Indonesia Super League, and the rest stayed in the same division. The PSSI examined those 18 clubs for their readiness to join the ISL, considering many aspects, like the stadium, financial condition and other requirements for full professional football clubs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/en/inside-afc/6-leagues/17584 |title=New Super League key to success in Indonesia}}{{dead link|date=February 2023|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>

==Promotion and relegation== #Super League (level 1, 18 teams): the bottom three teams are relegated to Championship #Championship (level 2, 20 teams): the champions, runner-up and third-place teams are promoted to Super League. The three worst teams will be relegated to Liga Nusantara. #Liga Nusantara (level 3, 24 teams): the champions, runner-up and third-place teams are promoted to Championship.
