In the top division (Premier League) of Azerbaijan's national football championship, there are 3 rounds left until the end of the 2025-2026 season. "Sabah," which has secured the gold medals early, has 75 points.
Medianews.az reports that "Qarabağ" has 62, "Turan Tovuz" 56, "Neftçi" 50, "Zirə" 49, "Araz-Naxçıvan" 40, "Sumqayıt" 38, "Şamaxı" 35, "İmişli" 32, "Kəpəz" 24, "Qəbələ" 20, and "Karvan-Yevlax" 14 points.
"Sabah" will start from the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League 2026-2027 season.
The country’s cup winner will start from the first round of the Europa League, the third-place medalist from the first round of the Conference League, and the second-place medalist from the second round.
"Sabah" and "Zirə" have advanced to the final of the Azerbaijan Cup 2025-2026 season. If the champion "Sabah" also wins the cup, the country will be represented in the Europa League by the silver medalist. In this case, the team finishing fourth in the championship will compete in the Conference League alongside the bronze medalist.
The team occupying the last place will leave the Premier League, while the team in the second to last place will face the runner-up of the lower league in a playoff to try to stay in the Premier League.
If two or more teams have equal points, the following criteria will be examined: number of wins; goal difference; goals scored; results of the matches played between the teams; goal difference in the matches played between the teams (away goals are not considered); fewest official warnings (yellow and red cards). If these criteria are still equal, the winner will be determined by a draw.
Since 1992, "Qarabağ" has been the national champion 12 times, "Neftçi" 9 times, "Kəpəz" 3 times, "Şəmkir," "Bakı," and "İnter" (currently "Şamaxı") 2 times, "Turan" (Tovuz), "Xəzər Lənkəran," and "Sabah" each once.
