Ghana Premier League


The Ghana Premier League is the top professional association football league in Ghana organized by the Ghana Football Association and formed in 1958 to replace a previous league incarnation, the Gold Coast Club Competition which ran from 1933 to 1953–54. As of the first quarter of 2024, the league was ranked as the 8th best league in Africa by TeamForm.com.
Asante Kotoko is the most successful team in the league with 25 titles, followed by Accra Hearts of Oak with 20. The bottom 3 teams are relegated at the end of each season and placed in each zone of the Ghanaian Division One League.
The 2019–20 season was halted and eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana that mirrored the cause of postponement or cancellation of association football leagues and competitions across the globe.

Broadcasting

In September 2013, South African broadcaster SuperSport signed a deal with the Ghana Football Association to broadcast the league on DStv and GOtv. On 23 November 2016, Chinese pay television provider and broadcaster StarTimes secured official television production and broadcast rights for the league, which expired at the end of the 2023–24 season, with numerous reports and interviews stating that StarTimes owes the GFA $1 million and are in negotiations for a new deal. However, hindsight reports indicate that GTV Sports+, the sports channel of Ghanaian state broadcaster the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, had secured the rights for the current 2024–25 season.
Starting 2025/2026 Ghana Premier League season, the league's broadcast right has been given to Adesa Production Limited.
