## Naming and sponsorship

[edit]

The name of the league is leased to a general sponsor and changes frequently.

* 1993 – 2005: 1. liga
* 2005 – 2012: Fortuna liga
* 2012 – 2015: AutoCont extraliga
* 2015 – 2019: Tipsport Superliga
* 2019: Superliga florbalu
* 2020 – current: Livesport Superliga[1]

## Season structure

[edit]

In the regular season, all teams play each other twice (a total of 26 rounds). Teams receive 3 points for a win, 2 points for an overtime win, and 1 point for an overtime loss. The winner of the regular season is awarded the Presidential Cup.

After the regular season, the top six teams advance directly to the playoff quarterfinals. The teams ranked seventh and tenth, and the teams ranked eighth and ninth, play a preliminary round (best-of-three series) for the remaining two spots in the quarterfinals. After the preliminary round, the top three teams from the regular season successively choose their quarterfinal opponents from the four remaining teams, taking into account factors such as geographical proximity, current form, and other aspects. Similarly, in the semifinals, the highest-ranked remaining team from the regular season selects its opponent from the two lowest-ranked advancing teams. Both the quarterfinals and semifinals are played as best-of-seven series.[4] The final is a single match, held together with the Women's Extraliga žen ve florbale as part of an event called the Superfinal. The Superliga champion qualifies for the Champions Cup. If the same team wins both the league and the Czech Floorball Cup, the league runner-up also qualifies.[5]

The bottom four teams from the regular season (11th to 14th place) compete in the play-down (two rounds, each a best-of-seven series) to determine which team will be relegated directly to the 1st Floorball League. The loser of the second round of the play-down is replaced by the 1\. liga (1st league) champion. The runner-up of the 1\. liga final then faces the winner of the Superliga play-down second round in a promotion/relegation playoff (best-of-five series).[6]
