, it is the country's premier and primary football competition. Contested by twelve clubs, it operates a system of promotion and relegation with the Serie B, the second and lowest level of the Primera Categoría. The season runs from February to December and is usually contested in multiple stages. It is sponsored by Credife and is officially known as the Copa Credife Serie A.

While initially not a league, the Serie A has its roots in the national championship between the top teams of Ecuador's two regional leagues. For the first nine editions, teams from Guayaquil and Quito qualified to the competition through their professional regional leagues. It abandoned the qualification format to form a proper league in 1967.

Format

The format for the Serie A national championship consistently changes from season to season. The most common historic format is a two-stage tournament, to which teams qualify to a mini-league to determine the champion. The current format is new for the 2010 season and consists of three stages. The First and Second Stages each follow the double round-robin format. The winners of each stage play against each other in the Third Stage for the championship. A third-place match also takes place in the Third Stage between the next two-best teams in the aggregate table. If the same team wins both the First and Second Stage, they are automatically the champion. In this case, the second and third best teams in the aggregate table play against each other for runner-up.

Relegation is done after the Second Stage and determined through an aggregate table of the first two stages. Teams throughout the season compete to play in following season's Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana
Copa Sudamericana

The format continued until 1967 when a number of changes occurred: 1) the regional tournaments were discontinued after the 1967 season; 2) teams contesting the national championship from 1968 onwards were now part of the Primera Categoría; and 3) a second level of Ecuadorian football (Segunda Categoría) was put into play and a system of relegation and promotion began in 1967.

In 1971, the Primera Categoría was divided into two Series: Serie A & Serie B. Serie A was to be the top level of club football, while Serie B was the second, and Segunda the third. Between, 1983–1988, Serie B was merged into the Segunda, but the Serie A continued. Serie B was brought back in 1989, and has stayed as the second level since.
