Premijer Liga (Bosnia and Herzegovina) 2026/27

The Premijer Liga stands as the top-tier professional football league in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Established in 2000 by the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the competition emerged following the Dayton Agreement, which ended the conflict in 1995 by dividing the country into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska. Initially limited to clubs from the Federation, the league expanded to include teams from Republika Srpska in the 2002–03 season, creating a unified national structure after years of separate ethnic organisation during the war.

The current format involves 10 teams competing in a quadruple round-robin system. Each side plays every other club four times, resulting in 36 matches per season. The league operates without playoffs for the championship or relegation; the final table determines all outcomes. The two lowest-placed teams are relegated directly to the second-tier entity leagues, while promotion is secured by the champions of the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the First League of the Republika Srpska. This dual-pathway for promotion reflects the unique political division of the country’s football system.

HŠK Zrinjski Mostar leads the historical record with nine titles, including consecutive successes in 2016–17, 2017–18, and again in 2022–23 and 2024–25. FK Željezničar has won five championships, while FK Sarajevo and Borac Banja Luka each hold four. The competition serves as the primary domestic honour, determining the national champion and allocating European qualification places. Unlike the domestic cup, which uses a knockout format, the league relies entirely on accumulated points over the full season.
