Format

In the past, the number of teams has fluctuated. Prior to the 2017-18 season, the league comprised 14 teams. However, since then, the league has expanded to 16 teams. Over the course of a season, which runs annually from August to March, each team plays twice against the others in the league, once at home and once away, resulting in each team competing in 30 games in total. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the league table by points gained, then goal difference, then goals scored and then their head-to-head record for that season.

At the end of the season, the club with the most points becomes the champion of the league. The Champion gets promoted to the 3rd Division League while the bottom team is relegated to the Khuzestan League 1.

2019–20 season

The 2019-20 season marks the 20th season of the Khuzestan premier League and will begin in August 2019 with 16 teams from across the Khuzestan province. [2]
