The Nelborne Football Premier League is the highest level of the multinational Nelborne football system, composing of various regional and national competitions and leagues. It currently consists of 12 teams. Competition for the championship is run on a seasonal basis, with a spring, summer, and fall season lasting ~60 days, with each team playing 11 games. Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with occasional weekday evening fixtures.
The competition was founded in 2022 after an agreement was reached between Nelbourn's various domestic leagues to create a top level across the island. The current teams qualified for the inaugural Spring 2023 season through various methods, with each domestic league being allocated a number of slots and choosing independently a qualification process. Its' inaugural game, between Lormotia and Fyedor had 5.4 million viewers across all markets, a record for Nelborn sports television.
History
Competition format
Regular competiton
The current format of the League is based on a tri-annual season schedule. Each year 3 championship titles are handed out, one each for the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The team with the most wins in a given season wins the championship and earns themselves a spot in the Nelbec Championship.
The seasonal format is a double round robin, with each team playing each other once totalling 11 games. 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 goal difference, and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, the head-to-head record between the tied teams is taken into consideration
Promotion and relegation
At the end of each season, two teams are relegated out of the league and replaced by the through one of two ways. The first qualifier (to replace the team that finished 11th) is the winner of the Holgensor Cup, a tournament between the Nelbourn's domestic leagues. The last-placed team is replaced by their domestic league's most recent champion. This system also allows for the league's national composition to change over time.
