02Chapter Three — The Founding Fifteen

Fifteen seats. Held in perpetuity.

Revenue is guaranteed regardless of performance, form, managerial competence, or final position.

03Chapter Four — The Synergy Draft™

Five berths. Redrawn every summer.

Thirteen global partners. An algorithmic lottery weighted by subscription tier, market size, brand compatibility and broadcast reach.

Every continent is represented. Every continent pays.

04The table

Every position has a price.

There is no relegation. The fifteen permanent members cannot be removed, and the five guest berths are redrawn by lottery regardless of where their holders finished. The table is retained for its commercial value.

  1. 1st

    Champions

    Champions of the Superior League. The trophy is also available as a subscription tier.

  2. Top 4

    Global Series

    Qualification for the intercontinental play-off series, and the broadcast windows that come with it.

    Brand Damage

    No sporting consequence. A considerable commercial one.

Knockout football continues in The Clawed AI Cup, presented by our technology partner, where ties can still be lost. PEFA™ regards this as heritage content.

05League decrees

The rules change every summer.

Each summer the Rules Committee hands down the season’s decrees, in consultation with the broadcast partner and nobody else. A selection from the register:

  • Subscription Tiebreak

    Level on points? The table separates you on TokTok following.

  • Founder Veto

    Founder members carry +1 strength. Nobody argues with them.

  • Retroactive Scoring

    Results may be revised for 72 hours. Nothing is safe.

  • Broadcast Dimensions

    Pitches re-cut to 16:9. More space, more goals.

06The Global Game

Global, by design.

The Superior League is committed to global representation. Each season, clubs from outside Europe are invited to compete in the world’s premier football competition.*

Eligibility is determined by a proprietary weighting of market size, brand compatibility, social engagement, broadcast reach, luxury hospitality demand, subscription conversion rate, private equity interest, and previous footballing success where relevant.

Applications are assessed by the Global Inclusion Committee, which meets twice annually and does not publish its reasoning.

No region is excluded. Some are simply more included.

* "Premier" is a descriptive term and does not constitute a comparative claim.
