Liga 1 (English: League 1), also known as BRI Liga 1 for sponsorship reasons with Bank Rakyat Indonesia,[1] is the men's top professional football division of the Indonesian football league system. Administered by the PT Liga Indonesia Baru (lit.'New Indonesian League, LLC'), Liga 1 is contested by 18 clubs and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with Liga 2.

Top-flight professional league in Indonesia started from the 2008–09 season onwards, initially under the name Indonesia Super League until 2015. Prior to the 2008 reforms, the national competitions used a tournament format. Liga 1 started in 2017 as a rebranding of the league.[2]

Forty teams have competed in the top-tier league of Indonesian football since the start of the modern era in 2008 as the Indonesia Super League. Eight teams have been crowned champions, with Persipura Jayapura winning the title three times (2009, 2011, 2013), the most among the teams.
