The '''Süper Lig''' ({{IPA|tr|ˈsypæɾ liɟ}}, ''Super League''), also known as '''[[Trendyol]] Süper Lig''' for sponsorship reasons,<ref name="TrendyolSponsor"/> is a professional [[association football]] league in [[Turkey]] and the highest level of the [[Turkish football league system]]. Eighteen teams compete, where a champion is decided and three clubs are [[promotion and relegation|promoted from, and another three relegated to]] the [[TFF First League|1. Lig]]. The season runs from August to May, with each club playing 34 matches. Matches are played Friday through Monday.

Run by the [[Turkish Football Federation]], the league succeeded the [[Turkish Football Championship]] and the [[Turkish National Division|National Division]], both being former top-level national competitions. The Süper Lig is currently 9th in the [[UEFA coefficient]] ranking of leagues based on club performances in European competitions over the last five years. A total of 78 clubs have competed in the Süper Lig, but only 6 have won the title to date: [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] (26), [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)|Fenerbahçe]] (19), [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] (16), [[Trabzonspor]] (7), [[İstanbul Başakşehir F.K.|Başakşehir]] (1) and [[Bursaspor]] (1).

== History == [[Football in Turkey]] stems back to the late 19th century, when [[English people|Englishmen]] brought the game with them while living in [[Salonica Vilayet|Salonica]] (then part of the Ottoman Empire).<ref name=beforetheleagues>{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/tl.html|title=Before the national Turkish Leagues|website=turkish-soccer.com|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=27 May 2018|archive-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180531114942/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/tl.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The first league competition was the [[Istanbul Football League]], which took place in the 1904–05 season. The league went through several variations until the creation of the ''Millî Lig'' (Süper Lig) in 1959. Between the creation of the Istanbul League and Millî Lig, several other regional leagues took place: [[Çukurova Football League|Adana]] (1924), [[Ankara Football League|Ankara]] (1922), [[Eskişehir Football League|Eskişehir]] (1924), [[İzmir Football League|İzmir]] (1924), Bursa (1924), and [[Trabzon Football League|Trabzon]] (1922), to name a few. The first competition to bring forth a national champion was the former [[Turkish Football Championship]], which began in [[1924 Turkish Football Championship|1924]] and continued until [[1951 Turkish Football Championship|1951]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|title=Turkey Futbol Federasyonu Kuruluyor|quote=1936'ya kadar süren bu dönemde ilk Turkey Şampiyonası Ankara'da yapılmış ve şampiyon Harbiye olmuştur.|website=tff.org|publisher=[[Turkish Football Federation]]|access-date=26 October 2017|language=tr|archive-date=14 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150414235529/http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|url-status=live}}</ref> The championship format was based on a knockout competition, contested between the winners of each of the country's top regional leagues.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/TB.html|title=Turkey Futbol Birinciliği|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=26 October 2017|archive-date=20 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120180108/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/TB.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Turkish National Division|National Division]] (Turkish: ''Millî Küme'') was the first national league competition in Turkey.

Since there was no top-level national champion in the period from 1952 to 1955, the Turkish federation sent Galatasaray, winners of the 1955–56 Istanbul League, to the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] in the [[1956–57 European Cup|1956–57]] season.

Protests of some Ankara and İzmir clubs regarding this decision, as well as [[UEFA]] deciding to only accept national champions to the European Cup from that season on induced the TFF to establish the [[Turkish Federation Cup|Federation Cup]] in 1956. It is the first professional national football league in Turkey and the predecessor to the Super League (Millî Lig). The competition took place as a knock-out tournament to decide a national champion. This champion would go on to participate in the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]]. The competition was held for two seasons until it was replaced by the Millî Lig. [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] won both editions and qualified for the European Cup during the two-year span. However, since the TFF failed to register their name for the draw in time, Beşiktaş could not participate in the [[1957–58 European Cup|1957–58 season]] after all.<ref name=federationcup1>Sivritepe, Erdinç [https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5657/fk.html Federation Cup 56/57] turkish-soccer.com, accessed 22 July 2010</ref><ref name=federationcup2>Sivritepe, Erdinç [https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/fk.html Federation Cup 57/58] turkish-soccer.com, accessed 22 July 2010</ref>

The top clubs of Ankara, Istanbul, and İzmir competed in the [[1959 Turkish National League]]. The first season took place in the calendar year of 1959, instead of 1958 to 1959, since the qualifying stages took place in 1958. The 16 clubs who competed in the first season were: [[Alibeyköy S.K.|Adalet]] (Istanbul), [[Altay S.K.|Altay]] (İzmir), [[MKE Ankaragücü|Ankaragücü]] (Ankara), [[Ankara Demirspor]] (Ankara), [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] (Istanbul), [[Beykoz 1908 S.K.D.|Beykoz]] (Istanbul), [[Fatih Karagümrük S.K.|Karagümrük]] (Istanbul), [[Fenerbahçe S.K.

Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then head-to-head record, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal, the head-to-head record and then goal difference determine the winner. The three lowest placed teams are relegated to the [[TFF First League|1.

Before the start of the 2019–20 season, due to the wild fluctuations in value of the [[Turkish lira]], beIN seek to renegotiate the fees for the upcoming season.

On 18 November 2020, after originally signing a deal (in 2016) where the annual fees were split evenly between Turkish lira and US dollars, the wild fluctuations in value of the Turkish lira saw beIN seek to renegotiate the fees for the Süper Lig. The new reduced fee (₺2.65 billion/$340 million) had to be paid exclusively in Turkish lira, and took into account the financial realities of the [[COVID-19]] crisis.

In Turkey, clubs are permitted to place a golden star above their crest for every five national championships won. As of the 2024–25 season, [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] are permitted five golden stars, [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (football)|Fenerbahçe]] and [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] are permitted three golden stars, and [[Trabzonspor]] are permitted one golden star to be placed above their crest on their jerseys.
