← Veikkausliiga 2001

The Veikkausliiga 2002 was the 13th season of the top Finnish division in men's football under this name and the 72nd season since its introduction in 1930. The defending champions were Tampere United . This year, however, record champions HJK Helsinki won the championship.

mode

Initially, all twelve teams met twice in the main round. After that, the first eight teams in the championship round determined the champions, while the last four teams played off the two relegated teams together with the two first-placed Ykkönen. In these rounds, only the first half of the season was played, so there were a total of seven game days and the points from the main round were taken over in the championship round. No points were transferred to the relegation round. This system meant that a total of 14 teams play in the Veikkausliiga in the following season.
