The Premier Soccer League (PSL; Afrikaans: Premier Sokkerliga) is the professional soccer leagues-and-cups administrator in South Africa based in Johannesburg and founded in 1996 following an agreement between the National Soccer League and the remnants of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL).
Affiliated to the South African Football Association (SAFA), the PSL organizes the country's top two professional divisions in the DStv Premiership and the Motsepe Foundation Championship and knockout cup competitions in the Nedbank Cup and the MTN 8. Teams that are relegated from the National First Division compete in the SAFA Second Division. They also organize a Youth League or PSL Reserve League DStv Diski Challenge.
