The record for most titles is fifteen, held by [[ŠK Slovan Bratislava|Slovan Bratislava]], who are the current title holders.

==History==
The current independent top football division in Slovakia was formed in 1993 as a result of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The predecessors of the current top football division in Slovakia were '''Zväzové Majstrovstvá Slovenska''' (1925–1933) and '''Slovenská liga''' (1938–1944).

Slovakia was part of [[Czechoslovakia]] (1918–1939 and 1945–1993) and the best Slovak clubs played in the joint Czechoslovak league. Three Slovak clubs managed to win it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/slowchamp.html|title=Slovakia - List of Champions|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=1 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906071148/http://rsssf.com/tabless/slowchamp.html|archive-date=6 September 2015}}</ref>

==Competition format==
Over the years, the number of teams competing in the top division has varied. The current number of 12 teams has been in effect since the [[2006–07 Slovak Superliga|2006–07 season]]. However, there were also changes in the playing format afterwards. In the current format, which has been in effect since the [[2017–18 Slovak First Football League|2017–18 season]], teams play home-and-away against every other team in the regular stage, for a total of 22 matches each. The table is then divided into two halves of 6 teams each – the top 6 play in the championship group and the bottom 6 play in the relegation group. Within these groups, teams play home-and-away each other again, for a total of 10 matches each.

== Players ==
The clubs sell their players to financially stronger clubs from western Europe. Examples of players that have succeeded in notable leagues are [[Marek Hamšík]], who was captain of Italian club [[SSC Napoli]], [[Peter Pekarík]] who captained [[Bundesliga]] side [[Hertha BSC]] or [[Martin Škrtel]], a well-known former [[Liverpool FC|Liverpool]] centre-back who is now the [[Sporting director]] of [[FC Spartak Trnava]]. Moreover, over the last few years more and more youngsters have been given chances to perform regularly in the league and as the result, many transfers were to be seen. For example [[Leon Bailey]], [[Milan Škriniar]], [[Stanislav Lobotka]] or [[Samuel Kalu]] could have been seen playing football at Slovak stadiums recently.
