'''Meistriliiga''' ({{IPA|et|ˈmeistriliːɡ̊ɑː|pron}}), officially known as '''A. Le Coq Premium Liiga''' for sponsorship reasons, and commonly known as the '''Premium Liiga''', is the highest division of the [[Estonian Football Association]] annual [[football (soccer)|football]] [[championship]]. The league was founded in 1992, and was initially semi-professional with [[amateur]] clubs allowed to compete. With the help of solidarity mechanisms, the league is fully professional since the [[2020 Meistriliiga|2020 season]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Eesti jalgpalli meistriliiga jätkub teisipäeval uue formaadiga|language=et|date=14 May 2020|access-date=20 May 2021|publisher=Postimees Sport|url=https://sport.postimees.ee/6973141/eesti-jalgpalli-meistriliiga-jatkub-teisipaeval-uue-formaadiga}}</ref>

As in most countries with low temperatures in winter, the season starts in March and ends in November. Meistriliiga consists of ten clubs, all teams play each other four times.

After each season, the bottom team is relegated to the [[Esiliiga]], the Estonian second division league. The second last team plays a two-legged play-off with the second team in the Esiliiga for a place in the Meistriliiga.

== History ==

=== Origins ===
The first Estonian Football Championship title was played out in [[1921 Estonian Football Championship|1921]] and was won by [[SK Tallinna Sport|Sport]], who later went on to lift nine league titles and was the most successful Estonian football club during the country's first period of independence. The championship was initially played as a knock-out tournament, before league format was adapted in 1929.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Schwede |first=Indrek |title=Eesti jalgpalli ajalugu II osa |publisher=Eesti Jalgpalli Liit |year=2024 |pages=}}</ref> During the last 1939–40 season, [[Tartu PK Olümpia|Tartu Olümpia]] became the first club outside of capital city Tallinn to be crowned the Estonian champions, and have remained to be the only non-Tallinn club to do so until present day.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Avi |first=Siim |date=March 2017 |title=On see võimalik: Eesti meister väljastpoolt Harjumaad? |trans-title=Is it possible: Estonian champion outside of Harjumaa? |url=https://dea.digar.ee/?a=d&d=AKjalka201703.2.14.1&e=------201-et-25--1--txt-txIN%7CtxTI%7CtxAU%7CtxTA |access-date= |website= |publisher=Jalka}}</ref>

Estonia lost its independence through Soviet occupation in World War II, after which former clubs were forced to dissolve and Estonian SSR Championship was established. During the occupation, native Estonians started to desist from practicing football and the local championships were mostly played by teams consisting of local Russians.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Schwede |first=Indrek |date=2021 |title=Jalgpalli positsioonist Eestis ja selle marginaliseerumise põhjustest Nõukogude anneksiooni perioodil |url=https://dspace.ut.ee/server/api/core/bitstreams/4dc1a63a-3d9b-4a53-8a8b-ce972b57cc49/content |journal=Tartu Ülikooli Kirjastus}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=28 May 2021 |title=Kuidas sai jalgpallist Eestis kommunismi ohver |trans-title=How football became a victim of communism in Estonia |url=https://sport.delfi.ee/artikkel/93534055/kuidas-sai-jalgpallist-eestis-kommunismi-ohver |access-date= |website=Delfi Sport |language=et}}</ref>

=== Meistriliiga ===
Estonia restored its independence in 1991 and in the following year, Meistriliiga was established. After 52 years, Estonian clubs could once again play for the Estonian Football Championship title. The number of teams participating in the league varied from 8 to 14 until 2005, since then the league has been played with 10 teams.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A.

In February 2013, [[A. Le Coq]], an Estonian brewery company, signed a five-year cooperation agreement with the Estonian Football Association, which included Meistriliiga naming rights.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |date=26 February 2013 |title=Kodune tippjalgpall saab peatoetaja |url=http://vana.jalgpall.ee/premium/news.php?id=4629 |access-date=11 December 2013 |publisher=Estonian Football Association |language=et}}</ref> Since then, the league has been known as the '''Premium Liiga'''.

In 2020, the league became fully professional as the [[Estonian Football Association]] began financially supporting clubs that do not qualify for European spots.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kalvet |first=Madis |date=25 February 2024 |title=Raha Premium liigas.

==All-time Meistriliiga table==
The table is a cumulative record of all match results, points and goals of every team that has played in the Meistriliiga since its inception in 1992. The table that follows is accurate as of the end of the [[2022 Meistriliiga|2022]] season. Teams in '''bold''' play in the Meistriliiga [[2023 Meistriliiga|2023 season]]. Numbers in '''bold''' are the record (highest) numbers in each column.

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss, although Meistriliiga awarded 2 points for a win until the 1994–95 season. Championship matches, relegation matches and relegation tournament matches involving clubs of lower leagues are not counted. In [[1992 Meistriliiga|1992]] Preliminary Round matches were played in two groups. The results of the matches played between teams in same group were taken to second round, thus counted twice, in this table these results are counted once.

The table is sorted by all-time points.

<!--PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE UNTIL END OF SEASON as this causes problems in updating at the end of each season when each part of the table should be updated in full. Whilst the table is by points total, the number of Premierships won is also shown. Please do not remove without seeing comment this article's talk page. Thank you.-->
