Pepsideild is the highest Icelandic football professional league for men, named after the name-sponsoring beverage manufacturer Pepsi . The championship was first held in 1912 under the name Meistaraflokkur and is organized by the KSI , the Icelandic Football Association. The Icelandic champions will be determined from among the twelve participating clubs and the starting places for the European Cup competitions will be determined .
The season is limited to spring and summer due to the severe climate in Iceland.
Name history
The highest Icelandic football league has changed its name repeatedly in the past. While the first name change is due to the fact that there was a second division from 1955 , all other changes are due to changing name sponsors.

Title holder
The following list shows all the winners of the Icelandic football championships since their inception in 1912 . Fram Reykjavík was the only participating team in both 1913 and 1914 , and therefore won the title without a fight in those two years.
Unlike in most European leagues, the championships were not interrupted during the world wars.
Most successful teams
So far, eleven teams have won the championship at least once. In the last twenty years, FH Hafnarfjörður (Masters 2004−2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2016) and KR Reykjavík (Masters 2000, 2002, 2003, 2011, 2013 and 2019) have prevailed.
