Slovak First Football League
The Slovak First Football League, formerly Fortuna Liga and currently Niké liga for sponsorship reasons, is the top flight of Slovakia's football league system. Contested by 12 professional clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation. Seasons typically run from August to May with each team playing 22 matches (playing all 11 other teams both home and away) in the round-robin format. After the finish, the league splits into top- (champions) and bottom- (relegation) 6 to play an extra home and away round. The teams keep all their points from the round-robin and play an extra 10 matches to finish at 32 matches altogether. Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
