The 2024–25 Super League Greece, also known as Stoiximan Super League for sponsorship reasons,[3] is the 89th season of the Super League Greece, the top Greek professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment as a national championship under the supervision of the Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) in 1927, the 66th championship since the establishment of the 1st National Division in 1959 and the 18th under its current name.

The season began on 17 August 2024. The draw for the fixtures took place on Tuesday 16th of July 21:00 local time and the whole schedule for the regular season was released shortly after. [4]

PAOK are the defending champions, having won their 4th title the previous season.

Teams

Fourteen teams compete in the league – the top twelve teams from the previous season and two teams promoted from Super League 2. Levadiakos returns in the Super League after a one-year absence and the 2022–23 season.[5] Athens Kallithea will play in the Super League for the first time after 18 years.[6] PAS Giannina were relegated to Super League 2 for the first time, after 4 consecutive years playing in the top division.[7] A.E. Kifisia were relegated to Super League 2 after only one year in Super League.[8]

Way of conduct

The championship will be held in two phases, namely the regular season (phase 1) and then the Championship play-offs with the top 4 teams, the play-offs for the UEFA Conference League 2025-26 qualifying rounds between the teams ranked 5 through 8 and the Relegation play-outs round with the bottom 6 teams (phase 2). In the regular season 26 matches will be played in 2 rounds of 13 match days each, where in each round all teams will compete against all others based on a draw.

Championship Play-offs

After the end of the regular season, the teams ranked 1 through 4 will participate in the Championship play-offs, to determine the winner of the league and how the tickets for next year's UEFA Competitions will be split among those 4 teams, based on their final positions. The 4 teams that will enter this round, will keep the total points that they won during the regular season.

The Championship play-offs will be held in six game days, i.e. in two rounds of three games each,where in each round all teams will compete against all others, based on a draw. The champion will be declared the team (of those that will participate in this round) that after the completion of the play-offs, will have the highest score (the most points during the regular season and the Championship play-offs combined).

Europe Play-offs

After the end of the regular season, the teams ranked 5 through 8 will participate in the Europe play-offs, to determine the last available spot for next year's UEFA Conference League 2nd qualifying round, assuming that the 2024-25 Greek Cup winner finishes in the top 4, since Super League is entitled to 5 entrants in 2025-26 UEFA Competitions.

The Europe play-offs will be held in six game days, i.e. in two rounds of three games each,where in each round all teams will compete against all others, based on a draw. The last available European spot will be given to the team (of those that will participate in this round) that after the completion of the play-offs, will finish in 5th place. The 4 teams that will enter this round, will do so with half the points they won during the regular season.

Relegation Play-outs

After the end of the regular season, the teams ranked 9 through 14 will participate in the Relegation play-outs, to determine the 2 teams that will be relegated to next year's Super League 2.

The Relegation play-outs will be held over ten game days i.e. in two rounds of five games each, where in each round all teams will compete against all others, based on a draw. The 6 teams that will enter this round, will keep the total points that they won during the regular season. Positions 9 through 14 will be determined by the total points the teams, participating in the play-outs, will have earned cumulatively during the regular season and the play-outs. The last two teams will be relegated to Super League 2. [9]

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 13, but then postponed and played between rounds 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for round 16. Juridical decisions regarding a match are also added to the full round after which they were ruled.
