The Serbian First League (Serbian: Prva Liga Srbija) is the second-highest football league in Serbia. The league is operated by the Serbian FA. 16 teams compete in the league for the 2018–19 season.

Format 2018–19

As of the 2018-19 season, the league reverted to its previous playoff system, whereby the top 8 placed teams compete in the promoted round at the end of the season and the 8 lowest placed teams play in the relegation playoff round. The four bottom placed teams are relegated to the serbian league. The Fourteenth team from Super Liga is then sent to a playoff against the winner of the Prva Liga play off. At the end of the season, the top two teams and the winner of the play-offs are promoted to the Super Liga. The Prva liga play-offs is a knock-out competition for the teams finishing the season in third to sixth place with the winner being promoted to the Super Liga. In the play-offs, the third-placed team plays against the sixth-placed team and the fourth-placed team plays against the fifth-placed team. [1]
