Süper Lig 2009–10 (also known as Turkcell Süper Lig due to sponsoring reasons) will be the 52nd season since its establishment. The season commenced on 7 August 2009 with Istanbul B.B. hosting defending champions Beşiktaş at Atatürk Olympic Stadium. The last matches will be played on 16 May 2010.

[edit] Promotion and relegation from 2008–09

Konyaspor, Kocaelispor and Hacettepe SK were relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season after finishing in the bottom three places of the standings. Konyaspor had to face demotion after six years in the highest Turkish football league. Kocaelispor returned to the First League after just one year in the Süper Lig, while Hacettepe ended a two-year stint in the Turkish top flight.

The relegated teams will be replaced by TFF First League 2008-09 champions Manisaspor, runners-up Diyarbakırspor and promotion play-off winners Kasımpaşa. Manisaspor and Kasımpaşa make their immediate return to the Süper Lig while Diyarbakırspor return after a three-year hiatus.

All Ankaraspor games in the 2009–10 season will not be played and are to result in a 3-0 Ankaraspor defeat by default.^[27]
