Zambia Super League

The league is contested by 18 teams every season. Until 2018, it was scheduled to run within the calendar year from March to December. Since then, owing to the decision by CAF on 20 July 2017 to switch from their traditional across-year runtime/schedule of their club competitions to align with that of the UEFA/European calendar, it currently runs from August to May. After each season and assuming Zambia is among the top 12 countries in the current CAF 5-year ranking system, the top 4 teams will qualify for CAF competitions; the top 2 qualify for the CAF Champions League and the two teams finishing below the top 2 positions on the league table qualifies for the CAF Confederation Cup. The teams who finish in the final 3 positions of the table are relegated to the National League and replaced with the teams who finish in the top 3 positions of the National League table. ==Broadcasting==

From 2007 to 2025, South Africa-based SuperSport, were the broadcast partners, and telecast 126 of the 306 matches each season, all outside Southern Africa. Seven matches were added to the telecast schedule since the 2022–23 season. In September 2025, TopStar became the broadcasting partners. ==Sponsorship==
