The Jammu and Kashmir Premier Football League, also known as the Jammu and Kashmir Premier Division and the Srinagar Premier League,[1][2] is the top state-level football league in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Football Association (JKFA)[3] and the J&K Sports Council.[4]

History[edit | edit source]

The sport was controlled by the Kashmir Olympic Association (KOA) as the governing body of football. In 1964, the Jammu & Kashmir Football Association was formed which took over the reins from KOA and established itself as the apex body in J&K. The Premier Division is the top tier of the state football league. The two bottom-placed teams get relegated to the Super Division. The A-Division is the third tier, while the fourth-tier is the B-Division.[1][5] The inaugural season kicked off on 12 July 2021, with 8 teams competing for the maiden title and qualification for the I-League 2nd Division.[6][7]

League structure[edit | edit source]

There are four divisions in the league under the Jammu & Kashmir Football Association (JKFA), with the J&K Premier Division being the top-most league, followed by three lower tiers.[1]
