Format Regular season
In the regular season, which takes place approximately from September to March, all teams play each other twice, and additionally, each team plays twice against every team from one of two six-team regional groups. In total, each team plays 32 games.
Playoffs
The top eight teams from the regular season play for the Finnish Championship, in playoffs that starts around March and culminates in April. For quarterfinals, the top three teams from the regular season successively choose their quarterfinal opponents from the four remaining teams. The semifinal pairings are determined by the regular season standings. The playoffs are played in best-of-seven format. The losing semifinalists play a single match for the bronze medal.
Playout
Starting with the 2025–26 season, the last-place team is automatically relegated and replaced by the winner of the lower competition final (called Division, Divari in Finnish, or Inssi-Divari for sponsorship reasons). The second-to-last team plays a relegation playoff against the runner-up of the Divari final.
History The league was founded as Salibandyn SM-sarja (English: Floorball Finnish Champions-Series) in 1986. It was renamed to Salibandyliiga for the 1994–95 season. The Salibandyliiga was operated by the company SSBL Salibandy Oy, a subsidiary of the Finnish Floorball Federation. The current name F-liiga is used since season 2020–21.
Starting with the 2015–16 season, the league adopted the Superfinal system, a single championship game to decide the title. However, after three years, it returned to a final series format.
