The Sichuan City Football League (), commonly known as the Chuan Super or Chuan Chao (), is a provincial amateur football league in Sichuan, China. Organized by the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau and the Sichuan Football Association, the league features teams representing the province's 21 prefecture-level cities and autonomous prefectures.
History The league was established in 2025, inspired by the success of the Jiangsu Football City League (Su Chao). In June 2025, netizens proposed the creation of a Sichuan equivalent through the "Wenzheng Sichuan" platform, prompting the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau to begin preparations. On 8 August 2025, the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau issued the competition regulations to all cities and prefectures, officially opening team registration.
On 5 September 2025, a pre-season press conference was held in Chengdu, where the league logo, mascot, trophies, and promotional song were unveiled. The league was officially named the "Sichuan Bank 2025/2026 Sichuan City Football League" with Sichuan Bank as the title sponsor.

The final stage began on 13 March 2026 at the Dazhou Sports Center, with nine teams qualifying: the top three from the East Division and the top two from each of the other three divisions. The opening match of the final stage saw Dazhou Chuanhanzi draw 1–1 with Liangshan Haoyisheng. The final stage consists of 18 rounds and 72 matches, concluding in June 2026, followed by the remaining 20 teams form a combined squad to face the champion.
Format The league follows a "one city, one team" principle, with each prefecture-level city or autonomous prefecture fielding a single representative team. Teams are named using a "city + local cultural/tourism feature" format.
