League (Saudi Arabia), the China Super League aims at rivalling the top football leagues on the global
stage including the English Premier League, Germany Bundesliga, France Ligue, 1, Spain La Liga and
Italy Serie A. The financial pull of the China Super League has contributed the most in elevating the
status of the league on the global stage as some of the top footballing stars now ply their trade in
the country.
China’s top-tier professional football league The China Super League in some circles is also referred
to as the Chinese Football Association Super League, Chinese Super League or simply CSL. For
sponsorship reasons, the current league (2023 season) is known as the China Plug An Chinese
Football Association Super League.
Overview and Brief Background
The China Super League is in its 19th year of existence having been founded in 2004. The China Super
League came about following the rebranding of the Chinese Jia-A League. The immense rise and
wide popularity of the league in recent times is a testament to the incredible work which the league
organisers, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) are doing.
Just to put into perspective the popularity of the China Super League, the league’s average
attendance figures feature in the top 10 of all domestic professional leagues in the world. In the
2018 season, the league recorded an average attendance of 24,107. The league still averages this
high number of attendees every match day.
League Format
When the league was founded in 2004, it had 12 teams. However, that number has increased over
the years to 16. The Chinese Super League season runs every year starting in either February or
March up to November or December.
The 16 teams in the China Super League play each other twice in one season. One of the matches is
played at Team A’s home ground and the reverse fixture is played at Team B’s home ground. Each
season, it means that one team plays a total of 30 matches with eight matches taking place every
round. The whole season will see a total of 240 matches played.
In each fixture, there are three possible results. A team can either win, lose or draw a match. A win
rewards the winning team with 3 points. A draw rewards both teams with 1 point each. A loss results
in 0 points for the losing team. At the end of the season, the team that has the most points will win
the league title. The league winner as well as the teams that finish second and third respectively
automatically qualify for the following season’s AFC Champions League. The three teams are joined
by the winner of the Chinese FA Cup hence bringing the total number of Chinese teams in the AFC
Champions League to four.
In case two or more teams finish the season with the same number of points, the following
tiebreakers are used in the exact order:
The team with the highest goal difference is placed first
The team with the highest number of goals scored in matches between the tied teams is
placed first
The team whose reserve team accumulated the most points in the reserve league is placed
first
The team whose U19 developmental side accumulated the most points in the U19 league is
placed first
Team with the highest Fair Play points (3 points deducted for each red card and 1 point for
each yellow card)
Draw by lots.
*The two teams with the lowest number of points are relegated to the China League One which is
the second tier of Chinese professional league. Inversely, the China League One title winner and the
runner-up are promoted to the China Super League.

bounce. The feat was achieved in 2017. Guangzhou Evergrande is also two-time AFC

2018 and won the league. The 2018 title remains Shanghai SIPG’s only league title to date.
