The Premier Division season III was the third season of the YFA Premier Division, the semi-professional top level football league for clubs in Ysqsylandia, sanctioned by YFA. This season featured 12 clubs from the country playing in a double round-robin tournament. Police/St Vincent ran out as winners, becoming the first team to lead the league every single round, from rounds 1 to 22.
League news
- Starting this season, the league would send teams to IFCF competitions.
- To send teams to the Cup Winners' Cup, a new competition was invented: the Federal Cup which included teams from the Premier Division, the new First Division and the regional leagues. University won the first edition, beating Racing Matrax 1–0.
- Racing Matrax won the reserve league for the second time in a row, finishing a point away from second-place Casablanca. In the Under-19s, they couldn't repeat last year's performance, as the division went down to a championship tiebreaker between Racing and Deere Rovers. Deere won 6–2 and so qualified for the Rising Stars Cup.
Promotion and relegation
A total of 12 teams will compete in this year's Premier Division, four teams less than last season, when the bottom four teams got relegated to form the First Division.
