Good to know
How does the league work?
Twelve teams play each other three times, home and away — 33 rounds. A win is worth 3 points, a draw 1. Home teams in the third cycle are drawn by lot. Regulations (PDF, Azerbaijani)
Who goes to Europe?
The champion enters Champions League qualifying, 2nd and 3rd the Conference League, and the Azerbaijan Cup winner the Europa League. If the cup winner finishes in the top three, 4th takes the Conference League place.
Who goes down?
12th is relegated to the First League and the First League winner comes up. 11th plays the First League runner-up in a one-off play-off at a neutral ground.
Who ranks higher on equal points?
First the number of wins, then goal difference and goals scored in all games, then points and goal difference in the games between the teams, then the fewest disciplinary points (yellow 1, red for two yellows 2, straight red 3), and finally a draw of lots.
Which channel shows the games?
