Unlike many top European leagues like Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A, the Chinese Super League starts in February or March and ends in November or December. In each season, each club plays each of the other clubs twice, once at home and another away. With 18 clubs currently in the Super League, teams play 10 games each, for a total of 90 games in the season.
The two lowest-placed teams by the end of the season are relegated to the China League One and the top two teams from the League One are promoted, taking their places.
The League position is determined by the highest number of points accumulated during the season. If two or more teams are level on points, tiebreakers are, in the following order
Highest number of points accumulated in matches between the teams concerned;
Highest goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
Highest number of goals scored in matches between the teams concerned;
Highest points accumulated by the reserve teams in the reserve league
Highest points accumulated by the U19 teams in the U19 league
Highest goal difference;
Highest number of goals scored;
Fair-Play points (Clubs deduct 1 point for a yellow card, and 3 points for a red card);
Draw by lot.
