2025 Bhutan Premier League

The 2025 Bhutan Premier League was the 14th season of the Bhutan Premier League, the top professional football league in Bhutan.

Background
Paro, the most successful club in the history of the Bhutan Premier League, entered the season as four-time defending champions, having secured consecutive titles in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Prior to the start of the 2025 campaign, the club had amassed a total of five league championships. The competition was originally established as the Bhutan National League in 2012, serving as the highest level of football in the country, before being rebranded as the Bhutan Premier League in 2019. ==Format==
Format
The 2025 season followed a multi-stage structure. The initial phase consisted of the Pepsi BPL Qualifiers, where ten clubs with valid BFF and AFC club licenses competed in a single round-robin format held at a centralized venue. The top two teams from this qualifying stage—Ugyen Academy and Southern City—earned promotion to the top flight to complete the 10-team roster for the main season. The main league phase, branded as the Bank of Bhutan Premier League, comprised ten teams: the top eight finishers from the 2024 season and the two successful qualifiers. These clubs competed in a double round-robin tournament, playing each other home and away for a total of 18 matches per team. The team finishing at the top of the table was crowned the national champion and earned qualification for the 2026–27 AFC Challenge League. == Teams ==
