The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is a national sports association responsible for administering the two professional football divisions in South Africa: the DSTV Premiership and GladAfrica Championship.
The PSL was created following an agreement between the National Soccer League and the remnants of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL).
The association acts as a governing body and competition organiser. The PSL is affiliated to the South African Football Association (SAFA) but SAFA does not govern the PSL competitions. The National First Division (NFD) is the second-highest league of South African club football. Teams that are relegated from the PSL organised divisions compete in the SAFA Second Division.
