Competition

There are 20 clubs in the Kenyan National Super League. The season is scheduled as a double round-robin system, with each team playing all other teams twice, once at home stadium and once as visitors, for a total of 38 games. Teams receive three points for a win, one point for a draw, zero points for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion. If points are equal, the goal difference and then goals scored determine the winner. If still equal, the ordering is determined by their head-to-head records. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a playoff match at a neutral venue decides rank. The top two teams are promoted to the Premier League, while the third ranked team takes part in a promotion/relegation playoff with the 16th placed team in the Premier League. Similarly, the bottom two teams of the National Super League are relegated to Division One, with the top two teams from both Division One zones promoted in their place.
