Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1

The Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1, formerly known as the Tunisian National Championship between 1956 and 1994, is the highest-level football tournament in Tunisia and is organized by the Tunisian Football Federation and the Ligue Nationale du Football Professionnel. The history of the competition is somewhat complex, with the first edition being held in 1907 during the French protectorate in Tunisia, organized by the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques, it was played in a knockout format, with the first official match taking place on 9 June 1907. In 1921, the Tunisian Football Association League was founded. It is the Tunisian branch of the French Football Federation and a member of the North African Football League, which remained in operation until independence in 1956.

On 29 March 1957, the Tunisian Football Federation was founded, the official governing body for football championships in Tunisia. The Tunisian Championship became professional in the 1994–95 season following the establishment of the Ligue Nationale du Football Professionnel, and the competition took its current name. Espérance Sportive de Tunis is the club that has won the title the most with 34 titles, the last of which was in the 2024–25 season. Coach Faouzi Benzarti has won the tournament on a record ten occasions with Espérance de Tunis (5), Étoile du Sahel (4) and Club Africain (1), while Khalil Chemmam has won it twelve times, the most successful player, all with Espérance de Tunis.

The top two teams in the standings automatically qualify for the CAF Champions League, and the third-place team automatically qualifies for the CAF Confederation Cup, while the Tunisian Football Federation selects the clubs that qualify for the Arab Club Champions Cup. The Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 ranked first in the Arab world and Africa, and fifteenth globally, according to the 2019 IFFHS rankings.
