As from the season 2017/18, the <a href="/wiki/Maltese_Premier_League" title="Maltese Premier League">Maltese Premier League</a> started having 14 clubs competing at the top level of <a href="/wiki/Maltese_football" class="mw-redirect" title="Maltese football">Maltese football</a>. <sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For the first time in decades, the <a href="/wiki/Maltese_Premier_League" title="Maltese Premier League">Maltese Premier League</a> started having two rounds, each team playing the other twice, and not splitting the points in half at any stage. </p><p>Thus from the season 2017/18, the format was changed to as follows: </p> <table align="center" border="1" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr style="background:#efefef;"> <th>Level </th> <th>League/Division </th></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">1 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Premier_League" title="Maltese Premier League">Maltese Premier League</a></b><br /><i>14 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">2 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_First_Division" class="mw-redirect" title="Maltese First Division">Maltese First Division</a></b><br /><i>14 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">3 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Second_Division" title="Maltese Second Division">Maltese Second Division</a></b><br /><i>13 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">4 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Third_Division" title="Maltese Third Division">Maltese Third Division</a></b><br /><i>12 clubs</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The main noticeable change in format was the introduction of a promotion-relegation play-off to take place across all the leagues in Malta. The 12th place team in each league was to play a one-match decider at a neutral ground against the team that finishes in 3rd place of the lower league. The winner of the decider was to take its place in the higher league in the following season. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Current_format">Current format</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maltese_football_league_system&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Current format"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following the early end of the 2019/20 season due to the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, the beginning of the 2020-21 season saw a radically altered system, particularly for the divisions beneath the second tier, and changes to the names the divisions were given. The Premier League saw an increase to sixteen clubs with four automatic relegation places and a relegation play-off for whichever team finishes in twelfth place. The First Division was renamed as the Challenge League and saw an increase to fifteen clubs taking part with the two teams finishing in first and second gaining automatic promotion and the third placed team facing off against the twelfth placed team from the Premier League in a play-off to decide on who plays in the Premier League the following season. The bottom five teams will all be relegated to the tier below.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The biggest changes came from the restructuring of the Second and Third Divisions as they were merged into a single entity called the National Amateur League. The twenty-two clubs in this league are split into three groups with the winners of each gaining automatic promotion to the Challenge League. The nine teams in second to fourth in each of these groups enter a nine-team play-off with the winner gaining promotion to the Challenge League. </p> <table align="center" border="1" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr style="background:#efefef;"> <th>Level </th> <th>League/Division </th></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">1 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Premier_League" title="Maltese Premier League">Premier League</a></b><br /><i>12 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">2 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Challenge_League" title="Maltese Challenge League">Challenge League</a></b><br /><i>16 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">3 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_National_Amateur_League_I" title="Maltese National Amateur League I">National Amateur League I</a></b><br /><i>16 clubs</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" style="background:#efefef;">4 </td> <td align="center"><b><a href="/wiki/Maltese_National_Amateur_League_II" title="Maltese National Amateur League II">National Amateur League II</a></b><br /><i>10 clubs</i> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>There are still hopes in the future that Gozitan clubs from the <a href="/wiki/Gozo_Football_League_First_Division" title="Gozo Football League First Division">Gozo Football League First Division</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Gozo_Football_League_Second_Division" title="Gozo Football League Second Division">Gozo Football League Second Division</a> may enter the Maltese Leagues and create a single competition for all the Maltese Islands and give the Gozitan teams the opportunity to compete in European competitions. There are also discussions going on over a potential re-structuring of the amateur football leagues in Malta and create a pyramid system as opposed to a series of single leagues. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maltese_football_league_system&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Maltese_Premier_League" title="Maltese Premier League">Maltese Premier League</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Football_in_Malta" title="Football in Malta">Football in Malta</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Malta_Football_Association" title="Malta Football Association">Malta Football Association</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maltese_football_league_system&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.maltafootball.com/2010/02/21/championship-pool-kicks-off-on-friday/">"Championship Pool kicks-off on Friday"</a>.
