The Lüg dî Lübäntîzäf is a Leubantian professional league for football clubs. At the top of the Leubantian football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation within the Leubantian Football League. The Lüg dî Lübäntîzäf is a corporation in which the 20 member clubs act as shareholders. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 38 matches each, totalling 380 matches in the season. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. It is sponsored by Asda and therefore officially known as the Asda Premier League, or the Lüg dî Üsdî in Leubantia.
The competition was formed on 17 February 1959, when the main teams from several regional leagues came together to form it. The Leubantian Football League was also formed at the same time.
