Past winners of the Superliga
The Danish Superliga is the current Danish football championship tournament. It is the highest league of football (soccer) in Denmark and is currently contested by 12 teams each year. Scandinavian Airlines System is the main sponsor of the Superliga, so the official name of the tournament is the SAS Liga.

Since the 2000-01 season, the competition has been dominated by FC København and Brøndby IF who have taken turns finishing champion and runners up.

Current structure


Since 1996, 12 clubs have played in the league, playing eachother thrice. Each team meets each one of the other teams one time at home, one time away, plus one more time home or away dependent of the clubs placement in the previous season. The two teams with the fewest points are relegated to the Danish 1st Division.

The Danish champion will play in the UEFA Champions League in the upcoming season where they will start in the 2nd qualifying round. The runner-up will play the UEFA Cup along with the winner of the Danish Cup. Both teams will start in the 2nd qualifying round. The third-placed team will play in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in the upcoming season and will start in the 2nd round. Teams finishing 1st to 4th are all qualified for the Royal League.
