The '''Syrian Premier League''' ({{langx|ar|الدوري السوري الممتاز}}) is a professional [[association football]] league in [[Syria]] and the top division of the Syrian football league system. The league comprises 12 teams and operates on a system of [[promotion and relegation]] with the [[Syrian League 1st Division]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20180513011558/https://mondialar.com/الدوري-السوري-الكروي-حكاية-مثيرة-عمر/ الدوري السوري الكروي حكاية مثيرة عمرها 51 عاما الهدافين التاريخيين 2]}} {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513011558/https://mondialar.com/الدوري-السوري-الكروي-حكاية-مثيرة-عمر/ |date=13 مايو 2018}}</ref> The Syrian Premier League was founded in 1966, unifying the local leagues that had existed previously.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/syrianfa/photos/a.482630675204885/1887152964752642/?type=3&theater الاتحاد العربي السوري لكرة القدم /Syrian FA/]. حساب اتحاد الكرة السوري على موقع فيسبوك. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200604153044/https://www.facebook.com/syrianfa/photos/a.482630675204885/1887152964752642/?type=3&theater|date=4 يونيو 2020}}</ref> Seasons mostly run from August to May. 

The first team to win the title was [[Al-Ittihad SC Aleppo|Al-Ittihad Ahli]] in 1967, whilst [[Al-Jaish SC (Damascus)|Al-Jaish]] has the record with 17 league titles. Their closest rivals, [[Al-Karamah SC|Al-Karamah]], have won the league 8 times.

In the beginning, the main tournament was the first division, then the [[Syrian Football Association]] developed the competition in a historic step that allowed the participation of foreign players to turn the competition into a professional league.

==Competition format==
===Competition===
From the 2022–23 season, there are 12 clubs in the Premier League, instead of the previous 14. During the course of a season (usually from August or September to May) each club plays the others twice (a double [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin system]]), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents; for 22 games. 

Teams receive [[three points for a win]] and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are [[Group tournament ranking system|ranked]] by total points, then [[goal difference]], and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank.

===Promotion and relegation===
A system of [[promotion and relegation]] exists between the Syrian Premier League and the [[Syrian League 1st Division]]. The two lowest placed teams in Premier League are relegated to the League 1st Division, and the top two teams from the League 1st Division are promoted to the Premier League.

==== Qualification criteria for 2022 ====
{{see also|2022 AFC Champions League#Association team allocation|l1=2022 AFC Champions League§Association team allocation}}
{{see also|2022 AFC Cup#Association team allocation|l1=2022 AFC Cup§Association team allocation}}

At present, the winners of Syrian Premier League qualify for the [[AFC Champions League]] play-off, and the league runners-up qualify for the [[AFC Cup]] group stage alongside the winners of [[Syrian Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/afc-to-expand-champions-league-womens-asian-cup/1649545|title=AFC to expand Champions League}}</ref>

If the cup winners are also the league winners or runners-up, the third-placed team in the league qualifies for the AFC Cup group stage. The winners of the [[AFC Champions League]] and [[AFC Cup]] may earn an additional qualification for the subsequent season's [[AFC Champions League]] qualifying play-offs if they have not already qualified.

The number of places allocated to the Syrian clubs in [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] competitions is dependent upon the position the country holds in the [[AFC Club Competitions Ranking]], which is calculated based upon the performance of teams in AFC competitions in the previous four years.
