History
Sikkim Premier Division League
The current top-tier league in Sikkim, also known as the Sikkim A Division League, was started by the Sikkim Football Association in 2011 with 8 teams.[1] The league was suspended in 2019, following a dispute between the Football Players Association of Sikkim (FCAS) and the SFA.[3] The state league eventually resumed in 2023.[2] Matches for the 2023 season were broadcast on Pavilion TV.
Sikkim B Division League
The current second-tier league in Sikkim, also known as the Sikkim B Division League, has 6 teams from Gangtok Zone and 6 from Namchi Zone. The present champions are Howlers Sporting Club, Singtam.
The league operates on a round robin basis with top 2 teams from each zone progressing to a playoffs stage where the two finalists are promoted to the Sikkim Premier Division League. In 2023, Howlers FC beat Sikkim Brotherhood FC in the finals of the playoff round to clinch the B Division title.
