In the ongoing Turkish Super Lig 2025-26, Trabzonspor and Kocaelispor will take on each other. This is the season opener for both teams. The Trabzon-based team are looking to regain the Super Lig title after the 2021-22 season. The last three seasons have seen Galatasaray winning three back-to-back titles. Trabzon have won the title seven times and are looking to add another trophy to their cabinet.
Last season, they finished seventh with 13 wins, 12 draws and 11 losses after playing 36 games. On the other hand, Kocalispor have made it to the top flight Turkish football after winning the TFF Lig 1 2024-25. They secured the top spot with 21 wins, nine draws and eight losses. This also meant that they didn’t have to go through the promotion playoff stage.
Talking about the tournament, 19 teams are playing each other in the double-round robin format. This makes it 36 games per team. The table topper will not only win the tournament but also secure a direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League 2026-27. Galatasaray have done it for the upcoming 2025-26 season. Teams that finish between second and fifth spots will get a chance to qualify for UEFA events such as Europa and Conference Leagues.
The last three teams at the end of the season will be up for relegation and would have to fight to save their spots against the ranked third to seventh teams from the TFF Lig 1 teams.
