Season Format

During the MLT1 season, the regular season is seperated into the Opening Round and Closing Round. In the Opening Round, each team plays the other 11 MLT1 teams once. The league will then split into the Top 6 and Bottom 6, where each team will play one match against the other teams in their group for a total of 16 Regular season league matches per team. All table ranking points are set to zero and the process is repeated for the Closing Round. Table ranking ties are broken by a playoff if deciding UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa Conference League berths.

Playoffs

Not applicable.

Relegation

At the end of the 2026-2027 MLT1 season, the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th place 2026-2027 MLT1 Aggregate Table teams will enter into a 1 match Relegation Playoff. The losers will be relegated to MLT2.

Aggregate points are determined by combining results from all rounds of the 2026-2027 MLT1 season into the 2026-2027 MLT1 Aggregate Table.
