The Football Tierrador Premiership, commonly known simply as Premiership in Tierrador, and officially as Premiership presented by Palmtree Electronics for sponsorship reasons, stylized as Premiership, is the men's top professional football division of the Tierradorian football league system. Administered by Football Tierrador, it is contested by 20 teams, with the three lowest-placed teams at the end of each season being relegated to the NFL Championship and replaced by the top two teams and a play-off winner in that division.
The competition was founded as the FT Premiership in 1945, following the decision from six TCL (which was the top-tier league from 1889 to 1945) clubs to split from their respective TCL divisions. Despite this decision, the Premiership is still tied to the TCL, with three clubs being promoted and relegated to and from both leagues. The Premiership takes advantage of a lucrative television rights sale to QBC and Television Cinco: from 2026 to 2027, accumulated television rights were worth around $3.1 billion per year, with QBC, TBS, Televisión Cinco, and CSPN securing the domestic rights to broadcast 108, 32 and 20 games, respectively. The Premiership is a corporation where chief executive Yanelí Tangetta is responsible for its management, with the member clubs acting as shareholders. The Premiership (along with most sports leagues in Tierrador) follows an open league system, in which the clubs operate as independent organizations, separate to the league itself. The clubs are responsible for marketing their brand, with the option to include the Premiership branding, though the Premiership cannot overtake any kind of business operations, unless absolutely necessary. As part of the unequal revenue sharing agreement, clubs were apportioned central payment revenues of $3.4 billion in 2035, with Taisgol-Qapitol receiving the most at $164 million. A further $343 million was directed in revenue-sharing payments to NFL clubs.
The Premiership is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 165 territories to 1 billion homes and a potential TV audience of 7.7 billion people. For the 2029 season, the average Premiership match attendance was at 71,322, the highest average attendance in Crona. Meanwhile, the aggregated attendance across all matches was also the highest of any association football league at 29,508,981, and most stadium occupancies are near capacity. As of 2032, the Premiership is ranked first in the UCFA coefficient rankings based on performances in Cronan competitions over the past five seasons, narrowly ahead of the Alstinian Major League Football. The Tierradorian top-flight has produced the second-highest number of Cronan Cup / UCFA Champions League titles, with a record seven Tierradorian clubs having won seventeen Cronan championships in total. Forty-eight clubs have competed in the Premiership since its inception in 1945. Twenty-two of those clubs have been crowned champions at least once since 1945. Taisgol-Qapitol and S.D. Ambaqwe share the title of most Premierships, winning twelve each. The Miccubo Colt .45s are the current title holder, winning their second Premiership in the 2036 season.

Competition format
Premiership's competition format follows a round-robin format. The season usually takes place from March to November, with matches being played on Fridays, Sundays and Mondays. Member clubs play each other twice, once home and the other away, for a total of 38 matches, over a total of 40 weeks (each club receives two off-weeks). Clubs receive 3 points for victories and no points for losses. Like most top leagues in Crona, the Premiership does not award points for draws, meaning that competition records include wins and losses only, with a 30-minute period of extra time, followed by a penalty shootout if the match is still tied. While points are awarded, they are mostly disregarded in favor of each club's win percentage, the only football league in the world to implement this system. Both the Premiership and TCL have often been criticized for "Tierradorizing" the sport, despite Football Tierrador never attempting to make changes to the sport's actual rules.
Every Premiership club participates in the Tierrador Cup.
Promotion and relegation
The Premiership follows a system of promotion and relegation with the NFL Championship and the Tierradorian Commonwealth Leagues. The three lowest placed teams in the Premiership are relegated to the NFL Championship. The top team from the Championship's two conferences are automatically promoted to the Premiership, with the third team promoted following a series of playoffs involving the second, third, fourth and fifth place clubs in each conference, with the of each conference playing for the third spot. From 1945 to 1986, the Premiership was contested by eighteen clubs. In 1986, the league was expanded to twenty-two clubs, following the mass joining of several newly founded clubs. Four of these newly-founded clubs were assigned to the Premiership to balance out the competition, an extremely controversial decision amongst numerous clubs, who believed that the new clubs were getting an easy route into the Premiership and perhaps the UCFA League of Champions by simply "getting lucky." Football Tierrador's board of governors simply ignored these complaints. The Premiership was then reduced to twenty clubs in 1995. In 2014, UCFA requested that the Premiership, along with several other Cronan football leagues, be reduced to 18 teams by the 2018 season. This was met with heavy resistance, and even got to the point where Football Tierrador threatened to depart the UCFA. Eventually, the UCFA halted its demands of reduction, and the 2018 season kicked off with twenty clubs, where it has been locked at since then.
