Format

At the regular season, the nine teams play each other twice (once at home and once away), for a total of 16 matches each. After that the top five teams qualify for a championship play-off and the bottom four teams play a placement play-off. Teams played each other twice in the championship play-offs group, for a total of 8 matches each while in the placement groups teams play each other three times for a total of 9 matches each. Points accumulated at the regular season are halved and added to the points of the play-off stage rounds. There is no relegation nor promotion in the league and the champion qualifies to the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League.[3][4]
