The Kelssek Football League (French: Ligue de football kelssekienne) is a professional league for men’s soccer clubs. The league consists of two divisions, the Championship Division (Division championnat) and the National Division (Division nationale) which is played in two geographical zones.
Every season, the bottom two teams of the Championship are relegated to the National division and the winners of each National Division region are promoted to the Championship. There is no regular promotion or relegation with the third tier of football which is the semi-professional All-Kelssek Football Conference, but clubs meeting the KFL’s financial, facilities and competitive standards can apply to enter the league, while clubs can lose their KFL membership for failing to meet them. Notably, the Vickery Jaguars were suspended from the league after declaring bankruptcy and the National Divison was expanded by four clubs from the 53rd season.
Media coverage
KFL Championship Division matches are televised nationally in Kelssek on the TV12 broadcast network, on Twelve local affiliates, the NSN cable channels, and in French on SRK-Télé and SportVu. Broadcasting rights revenue is evenly divided among teams. The traditional time slot for the most-anticipated live match each week is TV12's Saturday Soccer, which has been broadcast on Saturdays at 4pm Coastal Time since 1983.
International competitions
The winners of the KFL qualify for the UICA Champions’ Cup and the teams placing second through fourth qualify for the Globe Cup. The top two of each National Division region qualify for the Series B Champions’ Cup.
Burnaby SC is the most successful KFL club on the world stage, recognized as the UICA Kelssekian Club of the Century for reaching the Globe Cup group stage twice.
