How the Croatian HNL works
Ten clubs, 36 games
10 clubs play each other four times over a 36-game season. There is no play-off split — the final table is the standings, and it decides the champion of Croatia, the European places and the drop.
European places
The champion qualifies for the Champions League, 2nd for the Europa League and 3rd for the Conference League — some of Europe's richest prizes.
Relegation
The bottom club of the final table drops to the second division, replaced by the team coming up. Every point in the run-in matters.
