How Liga I works
Regular season, then a split
16 clubs play a 30-game regular season, then the table splits into a championship play-off and a relegation play-off. Those play-off rounds decide the title of Romania and the final European and relegation places.
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 clubs of the final classification drop to Liga II, replaced by the teams coming up. Every play-off point matters.
