The Competition

As of 2009–10, there will be 14 teams competing in the league. During the course of a season, from October to June, each club plays each of the other teams twice; once at home and once away, totaling 26 games for each team by the end of the season. Therefore, in Libyan football a true round-robin format is used. In the first half of the season, called the ذهاب - Dhahaab, each team plays exactly one time against each league opponent, for a total of 13 games. In the second half of the season, called the إياب - Iyaab, the teams play in exactly the same order that they did in the first half of the season, the only difference being that home and away situations are switched. Since the 1992–93 season, teams were awarded three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.

If two or more teams are tied for a particular position, the tie-breaker is as follows:
  • I) Head-to-Head record between the team(s) in question:
    • i) Total number of goals scored in meetings between team(s) in question
    • ii) Total number of away goals scored in meetings between team(s) in question
  • II) Goal difference
  • III) Total number of goals scored
  • IV) Play-off match at neutral venue.
