The Volkian Premier League was founded on February 19, 1972 after a split with the Volkia League 1, which was previously the top tier of Volkian football. The league started its inaugural season in 1972 with ten teams. After a series of expansions, reductions, and relocations the VPL reached its current size of 22 teams in 2019 and will add two additional teams in 2022. With an average attendance of 35,173, it has the highest average attendance of any professional sports league in Volkia. Most stadiums are often at capacity during games.
The VPL season typically begins in late February or early March and runs through late October, with each team playing 39 games; the team with the best record is awarded the President's Trophy.

== History ==
 
== Competition format ==
The Volkian Premier League's season runs from mid to late March through mid-October. Teams are divided geographically into the Western and Eastern Conferences, playing every other team twice (home and away) for a total of 42 games.
 
Similar to the [[Volkian Hockey League]], the VPL's regular season standings are based on a point system. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. At the end of the regular season, the team with the highest point total is awarded the President's Trophy and home-field advantage throughout the Premier Championships.
 
Seven teams from each conference qualify for the Premier Championships: the top six teams in each conference plus the conference team with the next highest points (wild cards). The top seeded teams get a first-round bye. The winners of the conference finals play each other in the Premier Championship Final for the VPL Cup.
