=== League format === | |||
{{Main|2024 Jin Jia Liansai}} | |||
Twenty clubs play in double round-robin (home and away) format, a total of 38 games each. A club receives 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. The clubs are ranked by points, and tiebreakers are, in the following order: | |||
* Goal differential | |||
* Goals scored | |||
* Head-to-head results | |||
* Disciplinary points | |||
A draw would be conducted, if necessary. However, if two clubs are tied for first place, both clubs will be declared as co-champions. The top two clubs will qualify to the following season's AFC Champions League Elite, the third-placers qualify to the following season's AFC Champions League 2, while the bottom three clubs will be relegated to J2. | |||
;Prize money (2020 figures) | |||
* Champions: 300,000,000 yen | |||
* Second place: 120,000,000 yen | |||
* Third place: 60,000,000 yen | |||

The league was refounded under the emperor's auspices in 1993, owing to the years of relative stability following the 1991 constitutional reforms with republican records of the 1919-1931 league brought over to the new league.
