The Turkish football champions are the annual winners of the highest association football competition in Turkey. Brought to the country by Englishmen, the sport had first taken root in Istanbul, where the Istanbul Football League was founded and became the first football league in Turkey. Other regional and local leagues followed in other major cities, such as Ankara (1922), Adana (1924), Eskişehir (1924), and İzmir (1924).

The first competition to bring forth a national champion was the Turkish Football Championship ({{langx|tr|Türkiye Futbol Şampiyonası}}), which began in 1924 and continued until 1951.{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|title=Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu Kuruluyor|quote=1936'ya kadar süren bu dönemde ilk Türkiye Şampiyonası Ankara'da yapılmış ve şampiyon Harbiye olmuştur.|website=tff.org|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=26 October 2017|language=Turkish}} The championship format was based on a knockout competition, contested between the winners of each of the country's top regional leagues. At the end of the 1924 edition, Harbiye were the first club to be crowned champions after completing their fixture unbeaten.{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org.tr/Resources/Tamsaha/126/files/assets/basic-html/page34.html|title=TamSaha dergisi – Memleketin ilk futbol birincisi|issue=126|page=66|language=Turkish|access-date=27 December 2017|publisher=Turkish Football Federation, Mehmet Yüce|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171225145014/http://www.tff.org.tr/Resources/Tamsaha/126/files/assets/basic-html/page34.html|archivedate=25 December 2017}} They are also the only club who have ever changed their name after winning a championship title, changing their name to Harp Okulu after the first of their three titles. Started in 1937, the National Division (Turkish: Millî Küme) was the first national league competition and was held until 1950.{{cite web|url=http://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=294|title=Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu Kuruluyor|quote=...ilk deplasmanlı lig kapsamındaki Milli Küme maçları da yine bu dönemde tertip edilmiştir.|website=tff.org|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=26 October 2017|language=Turkish}}

A few years later, in 1959, the professional nationwide league was introduced, currently known as the Süper Lig. The league is contested on a double round-robin basis and the championship is awarded to the team that is top of the league at the end of the season. The league originally contained 16 teams. Today the Süper Lig is contested by 18 teams. Of the founding clubs in the league, only Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray have not been relegated to date. Galatasaray are the most successful Süper Lig club with 24 titles. Fenerbahçe are the most successful club including championships before the start of Süper Lig (1959), having won 28 titles in total so far.{{cite web|url=http://www.trthaber.com/haber/spor/19-degil-28-sampiyonluk-127346.html|title=19 değil, 28 şampiyonluk|website=trthaber.com|publisher=TRT Haber|access-date=26 October 2017|language=Turkish}} However, the Turkish Football Federation denies and does not recognise the titles won in the former Turkish Football Championship and National Division, even though they were official championships organised by the TFF itself.

Currently there is an ongoing case concerning the recognition of the titles before 1957 by the TFF, after several clubs have formally appealed to the federation for officially recognizing the titles in question.{{cite web | url = https://www.sondakika.com/spor/haber-1959-oncesi-sampiyonluklar-icin-tff-ye-bir-14060576/ | title = 1959 öncesi şampiyonluklar için TFF'ye bir başvuru daha yapıldı | website = sondakika.com | date = 12 April 2021 | access-date = 14 August 2022 | language = Turkish}}

Football in Turkey stems back to the late 19th century, when Englishmen brought the game with them while living in Salonica (then part of the Turkish Empire).{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/tl.html|title=Before the national Turkish leagues|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180531114942/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/tl.html|url-status=live}} The first league competition was the Istanbul Football League, a regional league for Istanbul clubs which took place for the first time in the 1904–05 season. Shortly after the foundation of the Turkish Republic and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), several other regional leagues were officially established (or gained official status as some were already founded earlier) in various major cities: Ankara (1922), Adana (1924), Bursa (1924), Eskişehir (1924), İzmir (1924), and Trabzon (1922).{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/BL.html|title=The champions of the regional leagues|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-date=24 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190424085027/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/BL.html|url-status=live}}

The first competition to bring forth a national champion was the Turkish Football Championship ({{langx|tr|Türkiye Futbol Şampiyonası}}), which began in 1924 and continued until 1951.{{Cite web |title=Developing football in Turkey {{!}} Inside UEFA |url=https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/tur/ |access-date=21 May 2022 |website=UEFA |language=en}} The championship format was based on a knockout competition, contested between the winners of the country's top regional leagues. In some of the early years, the championship could not be held due to insufficient funds.{{cite web |url=http://www.tff.org/resources/tamsaha/135/files/assets/common/downloads/TamSaha.pdf|title=TamSaha – Ayaktopu Hikayeleri (14)|issue=135|page=90|language=tr|date=February 2016|access-date=21 April 2018|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817035003/http://www.tff.org/resources/tamsaha/135/files/assets/common/downloads/TamSaha.pdf|archive-date=17 August 2017}}

File:1945 05 21 Tanin.jpg announcing the Championship title of Fenerbahçe on its sports page on 21 May 1945.]]

Started in 1937, the National Division (Turkish: Millî Küme) was a national league competition between the strongest clubs of Ankara, Istanbul, and İzmir, which hosted the strongest regional leagues in those decades. The league lasted until 1950.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/MK.html|title=Milli Küme|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=26 October 2017|archive-date=5 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705121925/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/MK.html|url-status=live}} From 1940 to 1950, both top-level championships existed at the same time, which resulted in there being two national champions within a year. Since the National Division was based on a league format, with home and away matches on a regular basis and a higher number of matches overall, it was more popular and competitive than the Turkish Championship and overshadowed it.

= Introduction of professionalism and Süper Lig =

In 1952 the TFF introduced professionalism in Turkish football.{{cite news|title=Merhaba Dünya Kupası|url=https://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=311|publisher=Turkish Football Federation|access-date=30 August 2020|language=Tr|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200817135507/https://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=311|archive-date=17 August 2020}} Shortly after, the top-level Istanbul League and the clubs playing there adopted professionalism, while the Ankara and İzmir clubs followed some years later in 1955. After that point the Turkish Football Championship was no longer open to professional clubs, hence the professional departments of the Istanbul clubs could no longer participate in the championship. As a result, the former Turkish Football Championship lost its first level status. Since there was no top-level national champion in the period from 1952 to 1955, the Turkish federation sent Galatasaray, winners of the 1955–56 Istanbul League, to the European Cup in the 1956–57 season.

Protests of some Ankara and İzmir clubs regarding this decision, as well as UEFA deciding to only accept national champions to the European Cup from that season on induced the TFF to establish the Federation Cup in 1956. The competition took place as a knock-out tournament to decide a national champion. The Federation Cup was held for two years until it was replaced by the Süper Lig (then known as Millî Lig) in 1959. Beşiktaş won both editions and earned the right to represent Turkey twice in the European Cup during the two-year span. However, since the Turkish Football Federation failed to register them for the draw in time, they were not able to participate in the 1957–58 season after all.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5657/fk.html|title=Federation Cup 56/57|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-date=8 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408171629/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5657/fk.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/fk.html|title=Federation Cup 57/58|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-date=8 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408171649/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5758/fk.html|url-status=live}}

After some years of preparation and planning, the professional nationwide league called Millî Lig (National League) was finally introduced in 1959. Eligible for the newly established nationwide league were the top clubs of the regional Ankara, Istanbul, and İzmir leagues. The inaugural season took place in the calendar year of 1959, instead of 1958–59, since the regional leagues leading to qualification took place in 1958. The clubs competing in the first season were Adalet, Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, Beykoz, Karagümrük, Fenerbahçe, İstanbulspor, Vefa (all from Istanbul), Ankaragücü, Ankara Demirspor, Gençlerbirliği, Hacettepe (all from Ankara), Altay, Göztepe, İzmirspor, and Karşıyaka (all from İzmir). The first champions were Fenerbahçe and the first "Gol Kralı" (top scorer) was Metin Oktay.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5859/tl.html|title=1959 Milli Lig|publisher=Erdinç Sivritepe|access-date=18 January 2018|archive-date=21 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421200212/http://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/5859/tl.html|url-status=live}}

The 2. Lig (Second League) was created at the start of the 1963–64 season and the National League (Millî Lig) became known as the 1. Lig (First League). After the creation of a new second division in 2001, from then on known as 1. Lig, the formerly titled 1. Lig became the current Süper Lig.{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/nj/sivritepe/6364/tl.html|title=1963–1964 1.

Champions

According to historians' analysis of the 2002 Turkish Football Federation Arbitration Court decision, which stated that the Turkish League Championships began before 1959 and the championships before 1959 cannot be left uncounted.{{cite web |url=https://www.cnnturk.com/spor/futbol/son-dakika-yusuf-gunay-ve-melih-sabanoglundan-aciklamalar |title=Yusuf Günay ve Melih Şabanoğlu'ndan açıklamalar – "Kimse 1959 öncesini yok saymıyor" |website=CNN Türk (Online) |date=1 April 2001 |access-date=31 March 2024 |language=tr |quote=... Öncelikle şu iki hususu net bir şekilde söylemek lazım.

The Cup was established in 1956 to find a national champion to represent Turkey, after UEFA decided that only national champions could participate in the European Cup. Beşiktaş had therefore earned the right to represent Turkey in the 1957–58 and 1958–59 seasons of the European Cup. However, since the Turkish Football Federation failed to register them for the draw in time, they were not able to participate in the 1957–58 season after all. The ruling on this matter was announced in a press release on March 25, 2002, which indicated that the championships won by Beşiktaş in the Federation Cup will be considered as national championship titles.}}, 1958{{efn-num|name="formally"}}, 1960, 1966, 1967, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995, 2003, 2009, 2016, 2017, 2021

Star rating system

The honor of Golden Stars was introduced to recognize sides that have won multiple championships or other honours by the display of gold stars on their team badges and jerseys. In Turkey clubs are permitted to place a golden star above their crest for every five national championships won. For the 2024–25 season Galatasaray are permitted four golden stars, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are permitted three golden stars, and Trabzonspor are permitted one golden star to be placed above their crest on their jerseys.{{cite web|url=https://tr.eurosport.com/futbol/super-lig/2016-2017/15.-sampiyonluk-3-yildiz_sto6186435/story.shtml|title=15. şampiyonluk, 3 yıldız|date=28 May 2017|publisher=Eurosport|access-date=25 April 2018|language=tr|archive-date=26 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180426012311/https://tr.eurosport.com/futbol/super-lig/2016-2017/15.-sampiyonluk-3-yildiz_sto6186435/story.shtml|url-status=live}}
