Current: 2025–26 Jordanian Pro League

The Jordanian Pro League (Arabic: الدوري الأردني للمحترفين) is a Jordanian professional league for men's football clubs and represents the top flight of Jordanian football. The championship consists of twelve competing teams in a home and away league system. The league was not held in the years: 1948, 1953, 1957, 1958, 1967, 1968, 1969, and not finished in 1998. In 2002, the league changed calendar to a fall spring season, and in 2020 the league returned to a spring fall season. From the 2023-24 season, the JFA decided to return to the fall spring calendar to match the date of the league with the Asian championships.[1]

Competition format

Promotion and relegation

A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Jordanian Pro League and the Jordanian First Division League. The two lowest placed teams in the Pro League are relegated to the First Division League, and the top two teams from the First Division League are promoted to the Pro League.[2]

Qualification for Asian competitions

At present, the winners of the Jordanian Pro League qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage, and the league runners-up qualify for the AFC Champions League Two group stage alongside the winners of Jordan FA Cup.[3] Jordan is one of the most successful countries in the AFC Champions League Two with three titles second after Kuwait, 2 for Al-Faisaly (2005 and 2006) and 1 for Shabab Al-Ordon (2007), more than any other country who has their clubs eligible to play in the AFC Champions League Two.[4]
