The league comprises 10 clubs. Each season of the tournament generally runs from April to September. Each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), for a total of 90 games.
The competition formed as the Sri Lanka Super League in 2018 by the General Secretary of Football Federation of Sri Lanka Jaswar Umar Lebbe with the assistance and guidance of FIFA. It succeeds the Sri Lanka Champions League as the country's top tier football competition.
Since most of the clubs in this league haven't any FIFA Standard Stadiums, Sugathadasa Stadium was chosen as the venue to stage the tournament since the beginning.[4]

Competition format
There are 10 clubs in the Super League. During the course of a season each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), for a total of 90 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. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. The competition will operate without promotion and relegation for the first two seasons.
