The Daau Premier League (abbreviation: DPL) is a men's professional football league sanctioned by the Daau Football Association (DFA), which represents the sport's second highest level in the Daau Footballing Pyramid. The league is officially known as the BSL Daau Premier League for sponsorship reasons.
The league will host its first season starting from 2022 onwards as a new format of the league was introduced. The league plans to have 8 clubs in its first season and plans to expand further later on, consisting of three rounds in which each team plays every other team once. Seasons run from late August to late April, with teams playing 21 matches each, totalling 147 matches in the season.
League format
Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored.
At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned league champion. If the points, goal difference, goals scored, and head-to-head results between teams are equal, head-to-head records between the teams are used, followed by a better fair play record.
There is relegation and promotion in the league, the bottom 2 clubs of the table are relegated to the Daau League. The top 2 are promoted to the Daau Super League. The top two of the Daau League are promoted to the league.
Clubs
A total of 25 clubs have played in the league from its inception in 1996 up to and including the 2014 season. The following 8 clubs are competing in the league during the 2021 season. There is one non-Dauian club that currently competes in the Daau Super League – Aeland Krasno Natives Daau – a satellite team of the Krasno team with a same name.
