The Kenyan Premier League is the top division of the Kenya Football Federation, it was created in 1963.

The Kenya Premier League was mostly stable until the late 1990s and since then its performance has not been even average. Until today many of the league clubs have little or no finances to support themselves.However since the coming in of cable TV Channel MultiChoice through its DSTV brand as the official league partner,the league has taken on a more serious role with teams becoming professional and the majority of the clubs managing to get shirt sponsorships.This has seen the level of competition improve compared to the past and the golden years of the league are not far off.

The most successful clubs in the league are Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards who have both won the league title 12 times.

The league has its division two known as the Nationwide League (NWL) (also known as National Super League) and below it there are provincial and district tiers.
