It is contested by ten clubs and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the 1st League.

It consists of ten teams, eight of which are based in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar, with the remainder coming from other districts.

If two teams finish on equal points then head-to-head is used to determine the winner, with goals scored being the next criterion considered if goal difference cannot separate the teams.

The last-placed 2 teams are automatically relegated to Mongolia 1st League, without a play-off match.

There are many teams in Mongolian football leagues history, including Soyol, Khudulmur and Tengeriin Bugnuud.
