The Scottish Premiership

The Scottish Football League system comprises of four main tiers, each consisting of several clubs. These tiers are:

  • Premiership: This is the top tier of Scottish football and consists of 12 clubs playing 38 games per season in a round-robin format. Each season, the team with the most points goes on to be crowned the champion, while the bottom-placed team is relegated to the Championship.
  • Championship: This is the second tier of Scottish football, consisting of 10 clubs playing 36 games a season. The team with the most points at the end of the season is handed the crown, but also enjoys an automatic promotion to the Premiership. The teams that finish second through fourth place enter into a promotion playoff with the second-bottom team in the Premiership. The bottom-placed team is subsequently relegated to the Scottish League One.
  • League One: The third tier of Scottish football, which consists of 10 teams. Each team plays the other four times during a season. As with the league above, the outcome for the winning side consists of both the accolade of the title, but also automatic promotion to the Championship. The teams that finish second through fourth enter into a playoff with the second-bottom team in the Championship for a chance to be promoted. The bottom-placed team is relegated to League 2.
  • League Two: This is the fourth tier of Scottish football and consists of 10 teams. The champions are automatically promoted to League 1, while the team that finishes bottom is relegated to the Highland or Lowland Leagues, depending on their location.
