What is the regular-season format?
Fourteen clubs meet at home and away over 26 rounds. ERT’s report from the official July 2026 draw publishes that full regular-season programme. Its opening weekend is 22–23 August 2026. The first-stage table determines the groups for the concluding part of the campaign.
What happens after round 26?
Reporting on the approved structure identifies three groups: positions one to four contest the title play-offs, fifth to eighth enter the European-place group, and ninth to fourteenth enter the survival play-outs. These groups serve different purposes. The regular-season leader has not won the championship merely by finishing first before the split.
Should I use rules from Super League 2?
No. The Greek second division is a separate competition. The July decision coverage describes changes to that league alongside the top-flight decision. A report about removing second-division play-offs does not establish that the Super League’s own second stage has been removed.
Where can I check current fixtures?
ScoreTransfer’s Greek match centre shows the stored results, upcoming games and table, with local dates and a collection timestamp. Open a fixture for its source-linked details and available club reporting. This introduction does not assign European places, describe unverified points adjustments at the split or replace the full competition regulations.
