The Singapore Premier League is the top tier of professional football in Singapore, serving as the nation's primary club competition. Organized by the Football Association of Singapore, the league features a mix of local club sides and a unique "Young Lions" team that acts as a development squad for the national Under-23 program. Currently contested by 8 teams, the season follows a triple round-robin format, resulting in 21 matches per club. The league champion earns the right to represent Singapore in the AFC Champions League qualifiers. In recent years, the league has focused on developing local talent and increasing competitiveness, with clubs like Lion City Sailors and Tampines Rovers setting the pace. Awards such as the Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, and Golden Boot are keenly contested, recognizing the standout performers in a compact and physically demanding competition.
