Faroe Islands Premier League: 2024 Standings Update
Introduction: The 2024 Faroe Islands Premier League - A Season Overview
What is the Faroe Islands Premier League?
The Faroe Islands Premier League, officially known as the Betri Deildin, is the highest football league in the Faroe Islands. Established in 1943, it has evolved from a regional competition to a nationally recognized league. The current format involves ten teams competing in a double round-robin system, meaning each team plays every other team twice – once at home and once away. This ensures a competitive and engaging season for fans throughout the islands. For those looking for up-to-the-minute details, checking the live premier league scores is a great way to stay informed.
Key Teams to Watch in 2024
Several teams are consistently vying for the top spot. KÍ Klaksvík, a dominant force in recent years, is always a strong contender.

HB Tórshavn, known for their sporty approach, are often in the mix as well. The league is known for its unpredictable nature, making every match a potentially exciting affair.
Current Season Format & Qualification for European Competitions
The winner of the Betri Deildin automatically qualifies for the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. The runners-up and the winner of the Løgmanssteypið (the Faroese Cup) qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League. The bottom team is directly relegated, while the second-to-last team enters a relegation playoff with teams from the second tier.
