Teams
[edit]- ^ Ethnikos Gazoros' home 500-seater Gazoros Municipal Stadium doesn't meet Football League regulations.[14]

Structure
[edit]At present, there are twenty one clubs that compete in the Football League, playing each other in a home and away series. At the end of the season, the bottom three teams are relegated to the Gamma Ethniki. The top three teams gain automatic promotion. However, teams positioned fourth to seventh take part in a promotion play-off. Unlike in Super League, clubs in the Football League do not get relegated if the club fails to obtain a license. All teams in the Football League take part in the Greek Football Cup.
