Liga Indonesia Premier Division (Indonesian: Divisi Utama Liga Indonesia) was the second-tier of the football competition system in Indonesia, organized by PSSI. The competition started in 1994 as a top-tier division in the Indonesian football league system. Prior to the formation of Indonesia Super League in 2008, the Premier Division was the Indonesian top-flight football league. Along with Indonesia Super League, Premier Division is a fully professional competition. The competition is usually divided into several groups because of factors in terms of geography and number of participants.
In its time as a top-flight league, the competition used to be contested by 28 to 36 teams divided into 2 groups, the West Division and the East Division.[1] The top four teams from each group would then advance to the second stage where they were placed in one of two groups of four teams, with the top two teams in the second stage advancing to the knockout stage.[2]
After the establishment of the Liga 2 in 2017, the Premier Division was dissolved.[3]
