The 1. Liga is a Czech professional league for football clubs. At the top of the Czech football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. It is contested by 16 clubs, operating a system of promotion and relegation with the Czech 2. Liga. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 30 games each. It is sponsored by Plzeňský Prazdroj, a. s., and is therefore officially known as the 1. Gambrinus Liga, the name of one of the best selling beer in the Czech Republic. The league is currently ranked 18th in Europe in the UEFA league rankings.

The history of the Czech football Liga began at the end of the 19th century. It was reorganized for the 1993/1994 season, after the dissolution of former Czechoslovakia and therefore of the Czechoslovak League. The most notable clubs are Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague, Slovan Liberec, Baník Ostrava, Brno, Teplice, Bohemians.

[edit] Competition

There are 16 clubs in the 1. Liga. During the course of a season, which lasts from August to May, each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 30 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. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal, the points summed in direct match, then goal difference and goals scored determine the winner. The two lowest placed teams are relegated to the Czech 2. Liga.

[edit] Qualification for European competitions

Currently, only the Czech champion enter the UEFA Champions League qualifications, the team placed second (together with the winner of the Czech Cup) enters the UEFA Europa League with the third-placed team.
