The 2025–26 season began on 23 August 2025.[4] The winter break began on 22 December 2025, while the regular season concluded on 22 March 2026. The Championship and UEFA Conference League spot play-offs as well as the Relegation play-outs began on 4 April 2026.[5]
This is the first full season where semi-automated offside technology is in use, following its introduction during the previous season in the Championship play-offs round. Super League clubs unanimously agreed to its use for the next 4 championships, starting from this season.[6]
The draw for the fixtures took place on Wednesday 9 July 2025 in Alimos and the full regular season schedule was released shortly after.[7]
AEK Athens secured the 14th title in their history on 10 May 2026, after defeating Panathinaikos by 2–1, at home in the fourth matchday of the Championship play-offs, thus sealing their first title after the 2022–23 season.[8]
Teams
Fourteen teams compete in the league – the top twelve teams from the previous season and two teams promoted from Super League 2. AEL returns in the Super League, having secured promotion from Super League 2, after a four-year absence and the 2020–21 season.[9] A.E. Kifisia returns in the Super League after one year absence and the 2023–2024 season, after winning the Super League 2 championship.[10] Lamia were relegated to Super League 2 for the first time, after 8 consecutive years playing in the top division and 2017–18 season, their debut season in the highest division of Greek football.[11] Athens Kallithea were relegated to Super League 2 after only one year in the Super League.[12]

Format
The championship is being held in two phases, same as last year's, namely the regular season (phase 1) and then the Championship play-offs with the top 4 teams, the play-offs for the UEFA Conference League qualifying rounds between the teams ranked 5 through 8 and the Relegation play-outs round with the bottom 6 teams (phase 2). In the regular season 26 matches will be played in 2 rounds of 13 match days each, where in each round all teams will compete against all others based on a draw.[13]

Positions by round
The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 13, but then postponed and played between rounds 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for round 16. Juridical decisions regarding a match are also added to the full round after which they were ruled.

Europe play-offs
The teams ranked 5 through 8 from the regular season will participate in the Europe play-offs to determine the last available spot for 2026–27 UEFA Conference League, which will be awarded to the 5th placed team only if the 2025–26 Greek Cup winner finishes in the top 4. Since OFI won the 2025–26 Greek Cup, it received a ticket for next year's Europa League. The fourth place in the league qualifies for next year's Conference League, therefore the European play-off process is no longer relevant. The teams will meet twice (6 matches per team) and will enter this round with half the points they earned during the regular season.
