How the Chinese Super League works

The format

16 clubs play a home-and-away round robin (30 games) from March to November. Whoever finishes top of the table is champion — there are no play-offs.

Asian places

The champion qualifies for the AFC Champions League Elite, Asia's premier club competition; the runner-up enters the second-tier AFC Champions League Two.

Relegation

The bottom 2 clubs drop to China League One. Every point in the run-in matters.
