List of Maltese football champions


The Maltese football champions are the winners of the primary football competition in Malta, the Premier League. The league is contested on a round-robin system and the championship is awarded to the highest ranked team at the end of the season. Originally known as the First Division, it started with a disparate number of participating teams. Nowadays, it is contested by 14 teams. With a hiatus during the Second World War, the competition has been ever-present since its inception.
Sliema Wanderers and Floriana are the most successful clubs with 26 titles each, with the latter being the current champions after winning the 2019–20 competition.
