The National League is a standalone football competition, that operates as the highest level of football in Mongolia. It consists of ten teams, eight of which are based in the capital city,
Ulaanbaatar, with the remainder coming from other districts. Competing teams in the league play each other twice on a home and away basis. 6 of the Ulaanbaatar-located teams play at the
MFF Football Centre, and the others are: Mongolian largest stadium,
National Sports Stadium,
G-Mobile Arena,
Erchim Stadium &
Erdenet Stadium. Three points are gained for a win and one for a draw with no points for a loss. The team with the highest number of points is declared the champion. If two teams finish on equal points then head-to-head is used to determine the winner, with goals scored being the next criterion considered if goal difference cannot separate the teams. There is no promotion, because it is the top-tier league in Mongolia but there is relegation. The last-placed 2 teams are automatically relegated to
Mongolia 1st League, without a play-off match. == History ==
