The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the third season of [[Super League Football]], the top Florian professional football league for association football clubs since replacing the [[Florian Premier League]] in 2018. [[Northcliff United]] were the defending champions having won all the previous editions of the league in the [[Super League Football]] era. The league operated a winter break in February with five games of a normal round of ten played on one weekend and the remaining five the following week. <br>

The league featured twenty teams after [[Super League Football 2]] merged with the main league to create two conferences of ten teams. 
This was the first season that teams didn't participate in the [[Florian League Cup]] after the tournament was scrapped at the end of the previous season and the first to have a postseason playoff tournament. To make player acquirement fairer between clubs, the league introduced a player draft for prospects who opted to go through the College system with the draft order determined by the reversal of the previous seasons league standings. 
==Teams==
Twenty teams competed in the league - all the teams from the previous season and eight teams promoted from [[Super League Football 2]].
