The 2018 Liga 1, also known as Go-Jek Liga 1 for sponsorship reasons, ^[1] was the 2nd season of Liga 1 under its current name and the 9th season of the top-flight Indonesian professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 2008. The season started on 23 March 2018 and ended on 9 December 2018. ^[2] Fixtures for the 2018 season were announced on 10 March 2018. ^[3]

Bhayangkara were the defending champions. Persebaya, PSMS, and PSIS joined as the promoted teams from the 2017 Liga 2. They replaced Persegres, Persiba, and Semen Padang, which were relegated to the 2018 Liga 2. ^[4]

Persija won their first Liga 1 title, and second Indonesian top-flight title overall on the final day of the season, finishing on 62 points. ^[5]

Overview

Player regulations

Player registration was divided into two periods. The first period opened from 10 February 2018 and closes on 5 April 2018. ^[6] Then the second period was done on 5 July to 3 August 2018. Clubs could register at least 18 players and a maximum of 30 players. The club was also required to contract at least seven local U-23 players (born on or after 1 January 1996). Unlike last season, U-23 players were not required to play in one game. ^[7]

Persija and Bali United got privileges related to player quota. Both were allowed to add three local players with no age limit, following their participation in the 2018 AFC Cup representing Indonesia. ^[8]

Referee

Unlike last season, the league operator ensured that they did not use any foreign referees for this season. ^[9]

Teams

Eighteen teams competed in the league – the top fifteen teams from the previous season and three teams promoted from the Liga 2. The new teams this season were Persebaya, PSMS, and PSIS, who replaced Persegres, Persiba, and Semen Padang. ^[4]

Name changes

• PS TNI were renamed to PS TIRA and relocated to Bantul. ^[10]
