Fudbalska premier liga Malte

Premier liga Malte, poznata kao BOV Bank of Valletta Premier League iz sponzorskih razloga (kolokvijalno poznat kao Il-Kampjonat, Il-Lig, ili Il-Premjer), je glavna liga u nogometu - fudbalu na Malti. Takmičenje u Ligi datira od 1909-e. U fudbalskom sistemu Malte postoje tri podjele unutar Premier Lige, i to su; Prva, Druga i Treća.

Prije 1980.-e, najviši nivo malteške fudbalske lige je bio poznat kao First Division, da bi poslije bio preimenovan, i kao takav ostao do danas. Prvenstvo je podijeljeno na dva dijela u kojem svaki od 10 klubova igra sa ostalima dva puta. Liga se igra od augusta do maja. Nakon svih odigranih utaksmica, liga se dijeli na dva dijela i osvojeni bodovi se prepolove. Prvih šest klubova učestvuje u "The Championship Pool", a zadnje četiri ekipe igraju u "The Relegation Pool" odakle dva zadnja ispadaju u "First Division".

Prvak ulazi u prvu kvalifikacionu rundu UEFA Lige šampiona. Drugo i treće plasirani idu u prvu kvalifikacionu rundu Lige Evrope.

Dodatno, malteški se klub kvalifikuje u Ligu Evrope ako osvoji Kup Malte. Ovaj klub se se direktno plasira u drugu rundu UEFA Kupa.

Ove godine igra sljedećih 10 timova: Birkirkara F.C., Floriana F.C., Hamrun Spartans F.C., Hibernians F.C., Marsaxlokk F.C., Msida St. Joseph F.C., Qormi F.C., Sliema Wanderers, Tarxien Rainbows F.C., i Valletta F.C.
