Current: 2025 Suriname Major League

The Suriname Major League (SML) is the professional football league in Suriname.

The competition was launched on 22 February 2024, by the Surinamese Football Association as a successor to the SVB Eerste Divisie, formerly known as the SVB Hoofdklasse. With the start of the SML, professional football was introduced in Suriname, initially as a pilot project for the first four years. The first goal in SML history was scored by Jamilhio Rigters of S.V. Robinhood in the opening match on 23 February 2024, against S.V. Transvaal at the Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadion. Following a goal from Jercinio Grendel of Transvaal, the match ended in a draw.
