Kategoria Superiore (transl. Superior Category), also known as Abissnet Superiore for sponsorship reasons, is a top professional league for men's association football clubs in the Albanian football league system. It is contested by 10 clubs, and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Kategoria e Parë. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 36 matches (playing each team twice at home and twice away). The competition was founded in 1930 as the Albanian National Championship during the reign of King Zog, shortly after the creation of the Albanian Football Association. Since 1930, 45 clubs have competed in recognised competitions, while only ten clubs have won the title: Tirana (29), Dinamo Tirana (18), Partizani (17), Vllaznia (9), Skënderbeu (8), Egnatia (3), Elbasani (2), Teuta (2), Flamurtari (1) and Kukësi (1). The current champions are Egnatia, who won their 3rd title in 2025–26.
