There are 12 teams participating in the Qatar League. The home and away double round-robin system is adopted. The winner gets 3 points, the loser gets no points, and the draw gets 1 point for both sides. If the points are the same, the order is determined by the goal difference and the number of goals. The top 3 in the league will qualify for the AFC Champions League, the last will be directly relegated, and the penultimate will have a relegation play-off with the second in the secondary league. The winner will qualify for the Qatar League next season.
