2019–20 Premyer Liga

The Premyer Liga (Gregahouvian pronunciation: [prɛmʲjɛrʲ liɡʲa], Premier League) is a men's professional football league which represents the sport's highest level in Gregahou. Contested by 16 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Toroy Liga. Seasons run from mid-October to late April, with each team playing 30 matches (playing all 15 other teams home and away). Most games are played on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Founded in 1985 by the interim government as a method of consolidating local football leagues, the Premyer Liga remains today as the most popular professional sports league nationwide, and its teams unanimously regarded as the most talented groups in the country. Broadcast to over 1.5 million homes yearly and with average attendance peaking at over 15,000 per game, the Premyer Liga is also the most televised and most watched form of entertainment in the nation. Live matches are broadcast on Telerad, the country's national news network, and can be viewed on the network's Premyersport channel, which also broadcasts men's national team matches. Highlights are broadcast online as well as through television network Gregahou Telekanal.

Almost 50 clubs have participated in the Premyer Liga at some point since its inception in 1985, and 12 clubs have won the title. The most recent champion is AS Porte Nouvelle, whose 2018-19 team took home the club's first Premyer Liga title since its founding, winning 22 matches and losing only three during the regular season. Historically, the most successful clubs are CFC Stolitsemlağa and KF Almata, with seven titles each, respectively. The most successful Porte Nouvelais club is Molina, with four titles. The record for most points in a Premyer Liga season is 79, set by CFC Stolitsemlağa in the 2008-09 season.
