Superliga florbalu (also Livesport Superliga)[1] is the highest-level men's floorball league in the Czech Republic.

The league consists of 14 teams. Since the competition's foundation in 1993, a total of 42 teams have participated.[2] Only four of these teams have played in the league continuously since its inaugural season: 1. SC Vítkovice, Florbal Chodov, FBC Ostrava, and Tatran Střešovice.

Four teams have won the championship title in the league's history: Tatran Střešovice (18 titles, most recently in the 2023–24 season), 1. SC Vítkovice (seven titles, most recently in the 2018–19 season), Florbal MB (five titles, most recently in the 2025–26 season), and Florbal Chodov (two titles, most recently in the 2016–17 season). Until the 2011–12 season, Tatran was the dominant team in the Superliga (then known as the Extraliga), winning every season except for 1995–96, 1996–97, 1999–00, and 2008–09, when the title was claimed by Vítkovice. Florbal MB is the only team to have started in a lower division and successfully won the Superliga.

The champion of the league is eligible to compete at the Champions Cup.[3]

Season structure

In the regular season, which takes place from approximately September to March, all teams play each other twice (a total of 26 rounds). Teams receive 3 points for a win, 2 points for an overtime win, and 1 point for an overtime loss. The winner of the regular season is awarded the Presidential Cup.

After the regular season, the top ten advance to the play-offs, which typically begin in March and culminate in April. The top six teams qualify directly for the quarter-finals. The teams ranked seventh and tenth, and the teams ranked eighth and ninth, play a preliminary round (best-of-three series) for the remaining two spots in the quarterfinals. After the preliminary round, the top three teams from the regular season successively choose their quarterfinal opponents from the four remaining teams, taking into account factors such as geographical proximity, current form, and other aspects. Similarly, in the semifinals, the highest-ranked remaining team from the regular season selects its opponent from the two lowest-ranked advancing teams. Both the quarterfinals and semifinals are played as best-of-seven series.[4] The final is a single match, held together with the Women's Extraliga žen as part of an event called the Superfinal. The Superliga champion qualifies for the Champions Cup. If the same team wins both the league and the Czech Floorball Cup, the league runner-up also qualifies.[5]

The bottom four teams from the regular season (11th to 14th place) compete in the play-down (two rounds, each a best-of-seven series) to determine which team will be relegated directly to the 1st Men's League (1. liga mužů). The loser of the second round of the play-down is replaced by the 1st League champion. The runner-up of the 1st league then faces the winner of the Superliga play-down second round in a promotion/relegation playoff (best-of-five series).[6]
