Premier League (Antigua and Barbuda)
The Premier League (formerly: Premier Division ) is the top division of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association , the national football association of Antigua and Barbuda .
Current mode
The Premier League currently consists of 10 teams that determine the champions of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association in two legs over 18 matchdays.
