Persib were the defending champions after winning their 4th Super League title and 10th overall Indonesian top-flight football title in the previous season.[3]
Overview
18 teams will compete in the league – the fifteen teams from the previous season and three teams promoted from the Championship.[4]
Garudayaksa and PSS became the first two teams to be promoted in the final matchweek held on 2 and 3 May 2026. The victory over Persikad made Garudayaksa compete in the top division for the first time in the team's history, while PSS returned to the top division after a season's absence after defeating PSIS.[5][6]
The last team to be promoted was Adhyaksa Banten after winning against Persipura in the promotion playoff on 8 May 2026, which marked the first season in the top division in the team's history.[7]
PSBS and Semen Padang became the first two teams to be relegated after both spent two seasons in the top division. In the matchweek 31, PSBS suffered a defeat to Persebaya on 2 May 2026 while Semen Padang lost to Dewa United Banten on 3 May 2026. The last team to be relegated is Persis Solo in the final matchweek, despite their win over Persita, in the other match Madura United defeated PSM Makassar, which caused Persis confirmed relegation, and ended their four seasons in the top division.[8][9][10]
Teams
Changes
The following teams changed division since the 2025–26 season.
Name changes and relocated teams
Clubs can no longer move their home base if anyone manages to obtain an I-League license, otherwise they will be deducted two points.[11][12]
- Adhyaksa Banten have relocated to Central Kalimantan and will be using Tuah Pahoe Stadium in Palangkaraya as their home base starting from this season.[13][14] As part of their relocation and in effort to build a closer connection with the Central Kalimantan community, the club's name will be changed into something that reflects the province's culture, presumably using a phrase in the native Ngaju language.[15]
