The National Division (, , ), known as the BGL Ligue for sponsorship reasons, is the highest football league in Luxembourg. Until 2011, it was known as the BGL Ligue, after the Luxembourg Football Federation managed to seal a sponsorship deal with Fortis. Before 2006, it contained twelve teams, but it expanded to fourteen for the 2006âÂÂ07 season. Following the abandonment of the previous season, the 2020âÂÂ21 season saw the further expansion of the league to 16 teams. The current champions are Differdange 03.
The competition was first held in 1909âÂÂ10, and has been held every year since, with the exceptions of 1912âÂÂ13 and four seasons during the Second World War. It was also abandoned after 17 games in the 2019âÂÂ20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The competition was called the Luxembourgish Championship (, ) until 1913âÂÂ14. From the 1914âÂÂ15 season until 1931âÂÂ32 it was called the Premier Division (, ). It was then called the Division of Honour (, ) from 1932âÂÂ33 to 1956âÂÂ57. Since the 1957âÂÂ58 season, the competition has been known as the National Division.
