==History==
Started in the 1900s, the Punjab State Super Football League was started by the Punjab Football Association, however, during the early days, the league was played as a knock-out tournament which was played out for at least one week and thus the league was not granted "state league" status by the [[All India Football Federation]] till 2001.<ref name=History>{{cite web|title=Super League History|url=http://www.kolkatafootball.com/punjab_football_league_2014-15/#horizontalTab2|website=Kolkata Football|access-date=31 October 2014}}</ref> In 2001, the Punjab Football Association reformed the league to make it more into a league which would be played on a home and away basis. This thus earned the league its "state league" status.<ref name=History/>

In 2014, the Punjab State Super Football League was relaunched with JCT Limited as the title sponsors.<ref name=History/> The league would also now be played in a number of different cities to promote grassroots football and prize money would be given out to provide an incentive for teams in the league.<ref name=History/>
