Season Format

The CYP1 season consists of 2 stages. In the first stage, each CYP1 team plays the other 13 CYP1 teams in Home-Away matches for a total of 26 league matches per team. The second stage consists of the Championship Round and the Relegation Round. The teams ranked 1-6 play in the Championship Round, while teams ranked 7-14 play in the Relegation Round. In both the Championship and Relegation Rounds, each team plays Home-Away matches against the other teams in their groups (10 matches in Championship and 14 matches in Relegation). Table ranking ties are broken by (1) head-to-head points, (2) head-to-head goal difference, (3) head-to-head goals scored, (4) head-to-head away goals scored (2 teams only), (5) goal difference, (6) goals scored, then (7) a playoff (only if deciding champion, berth in UEFA competitions, or relegation).

Playoffs

Not applicable.

Relegation

At the end of the 2023-2024 CYP1 Relegation Round, the 6th, 7th and 8th place Relegation Round teams are immediately relegated to the CYP2.
