TheSerbian Super League (Serbian:Супер лига Србије,romanized: Super liga Srbije), also known asMozzart SuperLiga for sponsorship reasons, is a professionalassociation football league inSerbia and the highest level of theSerbian football league system. It is currently contested by 16 clubs, but from 2026–27 and 2027–28, the number of teams will reduce from 16 to 14 and 12 respectively. It operates on a system ofpromotion and relegation with theSerbian First League.
The SuperLiga was formed during the summer of 2005 as the country's top football league competition inSerbia and Montenegro. Since summer 2006 after the secession of Montenegro from Serbia, the league only has had Serbian clubs.
Serbian clubs used to compete in theYugoslav First League. This competition was formed in 1923 and lasted until 2003. After the downfall of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991 a new Yugoslavia would be formed that would be namedFR Yugoslavia with Montenegro and Serbia. They kept the name Yugoslavia until 2003 when the country changed its name toSerbia and Montenegro: this union lasted until 2006 when Montenegro gained independence and formed its own league, theMontenegrin First League.
The current SuperLiga champions areRed Star Belgrade.UEFA currently ranks the league 13th in Europe of 55 leagues.[1] The league was known as Meridian SuperLiga from 2005 until 2008. The league's official sponsor until 2015 was beer brandJelen pivo, this resulted in the league's official name to be Jelen SuperLiga.
The SuperLiga began as a league with a playoff system in an attempt to boost ratings and improve competition. After the first season however, the SuperLiga changed its format. The2007–08 season was the first to be played in a more traditional format. The league no longer divided into a play-off and play-out group midway through the campaign. Instead, the 12 teams began playing each other three times in a more conventional league format. After two seasons with that format theFootball Association of Serbia decided to add 4 teams to the SuperLiga. The2009–10 season will be the first with a 16 team league played in a conventional league format of one home and one away match rather than the previous 3 match encounters. This drops the match schedule from 33 rounds to 30.
As of the 2015-16 season, the league reverted to its previous playoff system, whereby the top 8 placed teams compete in the championship round at the end of the season and the 8 lowest placed teams play in the relegation playoff round. The two bottom placed teams are relegated to the second division, the SerbianPrva Liga. The third lowest-placed team is then sent to a relegation playoff against the third-placed team in the second division. Whichever team wins will play in the SuperLiga the following season.
SuperLiga will reduce from 16 to 14 in 2026–27 and 12 in 2027–28, four teams relegated from top tier, while two teams from First League will automatically promoted.
Superliga champions and runner-ups enterChampions League qualifying entering the play-off round and second qualifying round respectively. The cup winner qualifies for theEuropa League playoff round. The third and fourth placed teams enter the qualyfing round of theUEFA Europa Conference League, entering in the third and second qualifying round respectively.
In 2022-23, championsRed Star Belgrade were guaranteed to enter theChampions League group stage, due to access list changes in the Champions League regarding the suspension of Russian teams, and Serbia was ranked 11th in the UEFA coefficient list.TSC was also promoted from the UCL second qualifying round to the third qualifying round. This meant that for the first time ever, Serbia was allocated a group stage berth in the Champions League.
TheYugoslav First League started being played in 1923, and gathered the best clubs from the former Yugoslavia. In 1991, clubs from Slovenia and Croatia left and formed their own league systems, and in 1992 so did the clubs from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. The Yugoslav First League was played since 1992 with clubs from Serbia and Montenegro, until 2006, when Montenegro declared independence and subsequently formed its own league system. Since 2006 the league is formed exclusively by clubs from Serbia and got renamed into Serbian SuperLiga.
