Scottish PremiershipSchedule
The Scottish Premiership consists of 12 teams, playing home and away games in a three-round cycle. The home team in the third round is determined by drawing lots. The points calculation method for a single game is that the winner earns 3 points, the loser earns 0 points, and in a draw, both sides earns 1 point. After the three rounds are completed, the top six teams and the bottom six teams are divided into the championship group and the relegation group; the two groups each conduct a single round-robin competition, with each team playing a total of 38 games throughout the season. The team with the highest accumulated points will win the league championship, and the team with the lowest points will be relegated to Division A. If the points are the same, the ranking will be determined by goal difference and number of goals scored. If teams with the same points are involved in issues such as the ownership of the league championship, qualification for European competitions, promotion and relegation, etc., they will need to play play-offs. The championship extra points and relegation extra points are calculated as regular season points + play-off points. The first place in the championship group will participate in the Champions League next season, the second place will participate in the Champions League play-offs, the 3rd and 4th will participate in the Europa Qualifying Tournament next season, the fifth place will participate in the UEFA Europa League qualifying tournament next season, the second to last place in the relegation group will participate in the relegation play-offs, and the last place will be directly relegated to the Scottish Champions League.
