The First League is the top tier of Bulgarian soccer. Sixteen clubs play a regular season before the table splits in two: one group for the title and the European places, one for survival. The fixture that defines it is the eternal Sofia derby between CSKA and Levski, two clubs from the same city whose rivalry is older than the league's current format - it is the match even a foreign viewer recognises. Recent history, though, points elsewhere: Ludogorets, from the small town of Razgrad, won every title from 2012 to 2024. Matches are played Friday to Monday, mostly in the late afternoon and evening, eastern European time. The champions enter the Champions League through the qualifying rounds, the teams behind them the Europa Conference League.
