A soccer league is a structured competition where teams play against each other in the sport of soccer. These leagues can vary in size, ranging from local community leagues to professional leagues that attract international attention. Teams earn points based on their performance in matches, with the goal of finishing at the top of the league standings. Leagues often have a set schedule, with each team playing a predetermined number of games. At the end of the season, the top teams may qualify for playoffs or championships, while others may face relegation to lower divisions. Popular examples include the English Premier League and Major League Soccer.
