Scottish football league system


The Scottish football league system (or pyramid) is a series of interconnected leagues for Scottish Association football clubs..

It is not as well developed as most other football league systems, consisting of only two leagues made up of just four divisions. It is also unusual in that it has no regional leagues. Leagues do exist outside the pyramid (most notably the Highland Football League), but there is no regular promotion or relegation between them and the pyramid.

One club based in England, Berwick Rangers, plays in the Scottish system.

The Current System

The current system has been in place since the creation of the Scottish Premier League at the start of the 1998-1999 season. For each division, its official name, sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given:

Level League/Division
1 Scottish Premier League (SPL)
(Bank of Scotland Premierleague)
12 clubs
2 Scottish Football League First Division
(Bell's Scottish Football League Championship First Division)
10 clubs
3 Scottish Football League Second Division
(Bell's Scottish Football League Championship Second Division)
10 clubs
4 Scottish Football League Third Division
(Bell's Scottish Football League Championship Third Division)
10 clubs
