The Sikkim Premier League is a state-level men's franchise football league in Sikkim, India.[1] [2] [3] The first season was started in 2023, organised by the Football Development Private Limited and the Sikkim Football Association.[4]
In order to revive competitive football in the state, a new franchise league was developed by the former regional footballers under the banner of Football Development Private Limited (FDPL). The league is sponsored by the Teesta Urja Limited and the Government of Sikkim.[4] [5] The league includes teams from different districts of Sikkim in order to provide a pan-state and more competitive structure.[6]
