The F-liiga is the top men's floorball league in Finland. The league was founded as Salibandyn SM-sarja (English: Floorball Finnish Champions-Series) in 1986 by the Finnish Floorball Federation (SSBL). It was renamed to Salibandyliiga for the 1994–95 season. The Salibandyliiga was operated by the company SSBL Salibandy Oy, a subsidiary of the Finnish Floorball Federation. The current name F-liiga is used since season 2020–21.[1]
The champion of the league is eligible to compete at the Champions Cup.[2]
The regular season is played in a round robin format with each team playing 26 games. The total number of regular season games is 182. The eight teams that finish the regular season at the top of the standings qualify for the playoffs in the spring.
The top eight teams from the regular season play for the Finnish Championship. The first placed team from the regular season picks their opponent from the teams that placed fifth through eighth. The second placed team picks their opponent from the remaining three and after that the third placed team makes its pick of the two remaining teams. The last playoff pair is made of two remaining team. The playoffs are played in best-of-seven format.
The playout round was first introduced for 2014–15 season. The teams placed that placed eleventh through fourteenth continue to a playout phase after the regular season. The eleventh placed team picks their opponent, either the thirteenth or fourteenth placed team. The winners of the first round of playout get to keep their spots in Salibandyliiga, but the losing teams face each other in the second round. The winner of the second round of playout faces the second placed team of Divari (English: First Division). The winner of this match-up wins a place in the Salibandyliiga and losing team is relegated. The loser of the second round of playout is also relegated to Divari. The winner of Divari is directly promoted to Salibandyliiga.[3]
