===Persian Gulf Cup===
{{see also|Persian Gulf naming dispute}}
On 12 August 2006, the [[Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran|Iranian Football Federation]] decided to give the league another name.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=fa:برنامه‌ي كامل دور رفت ششمين دوره‌ي ليگ برتر فوتبال؛ ليگ برتر به "خليج فارس" تغيير نام داد|url=http://www.isna.ir/Main/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-769028&Lang=P|publisher=[[Iranian Students' News Agency|ISNA]]|access-date=2006-08-14|language=fa|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212183148/http://www.isna.ir/Main/NewsView.aspx?ID=News-769028&Lang=P|archive-date=2012-02-12| title=Error }}</ref> Since then, the league had been primarily known in Iran as ''Persian Gulf Cup'' (PGC). The Football Federation decided this to promote the Persian naming. The name of the [[Persian Gulf]] has been disputed by some Arab countries since the 1960s due to political and ethnic differences between Iran and Arab countries. The football Federation decided also to change the logo of the league. The final logo was selected from over 130 designs and unveiled on 14 November 2006.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=fa:برترين طرح ارائه شده براي ليگ برتر انتخاب شد|url=http://iriff.ir/news/files/show_news.asp?id=6641&rc=3|publisher=[[IRIFF|IRIFF Official Website]]|access-date=2006-11-24|language=fa|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726185222/http://iriff.ir/news/files/show_news.asp?id=6641&rc=3|archive-date=2011-07-26| title=Iriff.ir }}</ref> [[Saipa F.C.|Saipa]] won the [[2006–07 Persian Gulf Cup]]. Until 2007, six different teams won the league title successively. A foreign player became the league's top goal scorer. Nigerian striker [[Daniel Olerum]] scored 17 goals in 27 matches for [[F.C. Aboomoslem|Aboomoslem]]. The winner of only two seasons before, [[Foolad F.C.|Foolad]], had to relegated to [[Azadegan League]].

[[File:Persepolis Championship Celebration 2017-18 (6).jpg|thumb|left|250px|Persepolis players celebrating winning [[2017–18 Persian Gulf Pro League|2017–18 season]]]]
Before the start of the [[2007–08 Persian Gulf Cup|2007–08 season]] the number of teams was increased from 16 to 18 teams. The professional football team of [[PAS Tehran F.C.|PAS Tehran]] was also dissolved before the start of the season. Instead of PAS Tehran a new club was founded in [[Hamadan]] and named [[PAS Hamedan F.C.|PAS Hamedan]]. In 2008, [[Saba Qom F.C.|Saba Battery]] was also moved from Tehran to [[Qom]]. Since then, the club is known as [[Saba Qom F.C.|Saba Qom]]. The championship of the 2007–08 season was decided on the last matchday. [[Persepolis F.C.|Persepolis]] defeated [[Sepahan S.C.|Sepahan]]. [[Sanat Naft Abadan F.C.|Sanat Naft]] and [[Rahian Kermanshah F.C.|Shirin Faraz]] (today known as [[Rahian Kermanshah F.C.|Rahian Kermanshah]]) relegated to [[Azadegan League]]. The next [[2008–09 Persian Gulf Cup|season]] was dominated by [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]] and the two surprising teams [[Zob Ahan Esfahan F.C.|Zob Ahan]] and [[Sanat Mes Kerman F.C.|Mes Kerman]]. Zob Ahan was the leading team after 75 minutes on matchday 34, before they lost their match against [[Foolad F.C.|Foolad]] due to three conceded goals in the last 15 minutes with 1–4.  Payam Mashhad had to relegated alongside [[Bargh Shiraz F.C.|Bargh Shiraz]] and [[S.C. Damash Gilan|Damash]].

The [[2009–10 Persian Gulf Cup]] was dominated by the two [[Isfahan]] based clubs [[Sepahan S.C.|Sepahan]] and [[Zob Ahan Esfahan F.C.|Zob Ahan]]. Ultimately Sepahan won the league. Sepahan repeated their success by winning the [[2010–11 Persian Gulf Cup|2010–11]] and [[2011–12 Persian Gulf Cup]]. [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]] won the [[2012–13 Persian Gulf Cup]] and became for the eight time in their history the Iranian champion.

The League was scaled down from 18 to 16 teams before the beginning of the next season. [[Foolad F.C.|Foolad]] won the [[2013–14 Persian Gulf Cup]]. Foolad saved their championship after they defeated [[Gostaresh Foulad F.C.|Gostaresh Foulad]] away .

===Persian Gulf Pro League===
[[File:Esteghlal Khuzestan championship 03.jpg|thumb|280px|right|Esteghlal Khuzestan celebrate their championship in 2016.]]
The league changed its name from ''Persian Gulf Cup'' to ''Persian Gulf Pro League'' in 2014. The [[Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran|Iranian Football Federation]] decided also to change the logos of the Persian Gulf Pro League and of the [[Azadegan League]]. The [[2014–15 Persian Gulf Pro League]] was embossed by a championship battle between [[Sepahan S.C.|Sepahan]], [[Tractor S.C.|Tractor]] and [[Naft Tehran F.C.|Naft Tehran]]. Furthermore, there were strange events in the stadium, including a lot of misinformation and disturbed telecommunication. Although Sepahan secured their title with a 2–0 victory over Saipa, thousands of Tractor supporters celebrated on the pitch, believing that they won the league for the first time in club's history.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/babb/11612816/Iranian-side-mistakenly-celebrate-winning-the-league-title.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/babb/11612816/Iranian-side-mistakenly-celebrate-winning-the-league-title.html |archive-date=2022-01-12 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Iranian side mistakenly celebrate winning the league title|first=Adam|last=Hurrey|date=18 May 2015|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2015/05/16/741634/sepahan-wins-iran-professional-league|title=Sepahan Wins Iran Professional League - Tasnim News Agency|access-date=2017-09-22|archive-date=2017-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170920044942/https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2015/05/16/741634/sepahan-wins-iran-professional-league|url-status=live}}</ref>

Also the [[2015–16 Persian Gulf Pro League]] was not decided until the last matchday. [[Esteghlal Khuzestan F.C.|Esteghlal Khuzestan]] won the league in front of [[Persepolis F.C.|Persepolis]] and [[Esteghlal F.C.|Esteghlal]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://iransportspress.com/esteghlal-khuzestan-crowned-ipl-champion-malavan-and-rah-ahan-relegated/|title=Esteghlal Khuzestan crowned IPL champion, Malavan and Rah Ahan relegated(VIDEO)|work=Iran Sports Press |access-date=2018-01-02|archive-date=2018-01-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103072618/http://iransportspress.com/esteghlal-khuzestan-crowned-ipl-champion-malavan-and-rah-ahan-relegated/|url-status=live}}</ref> Persepolis missed their opportunity winning the league after eight years.

The Following Season Persepolis again were champion for three times in a row.

==Format==
In the past, the number of teams was changed at various times. Since 2013, the league comprises 16 teams. Over the course of a season, which runs annually from July to the following May, each team plays twice against the others in the league, once at home and once away, resulting in each team competing in 30 games in total. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the league table by points gained, then goal difference, then goals scored and then their head-to-head record for that season.

At the end of the season, the club with the most points becomes the [[List of Iranian football champions|Iranian champion]]. Currently, the Champions, the Runners Up and the [[Hazfi Cup]] champions qualify automatically for the group phase of the [[AFC Champions League]], while the third-place team enters the AFC Champions League at the Play-off round. The bottom two teams are relegated to [[Azadegan League]]. Furthermore, all teams in the Persian Gulf Pro League can participate in the [[Hazfi Cup]].
