Top 10 Football (Soccer) Leagues of 2015-2016

Hello Guys! Today we review the top footy/soccer leagues across the globe.
The Top Ten
1 Premier League

The most dramatic and most unpredictable league of all it is hard to predict a perfect result as you never know what teams will finish where. I mean la liga is great but Barcelona or real madrid usually dominate it with like 95 points but the premier league is unpredictable. Who would have thought leicester city a team who finished 14th with 41 points would be top with 60 the following season and Chelsea the champions to be struggling. The premier league is so incredible and definitely the most exciting of all la liga have better teams but the premier league wins as it is more exciting.

Me I still see the EPL as the most competitive, money making league and still the league of giving the young ones the chance to become world class players unlike the others, here we develop and sell them high to the others (LA LI GA) and is more of competition with the likes of utd, city, chelsea, liverpool, arsenal, everton tothehem, leicester city, you yourself you can see how competitive the league is

2015 has been the most competitive year so far I the EPL. I like La Liga too but I pretty much know who'll win. Now by contrast, In the EPL, last year's champions are in #15 with the same players and a team almost relegated last year was on top of the league yesterday. It's totally unpredictable. Man United, Man City, Liverpool,Arsenal are regularly beaten by lesser teams which makes for incredible entertainment.

I voted only because of my love for england though I am a malaysian by birth and residence. this league has produced some notable talent but has a long way to go though.
Notable talent: Gareth Bale (Real Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), De Gea (Manchester United), David Beckham, Jamie Vardy (Leicester), Mascherano (Barcelona), etc... the list goes on and on but I want to see some home talent though which is lacking in this league. Hope for the better. Sky's the limit.

2 La Liga

"Top" is such a subjective and personal world, so without defining it, this is an exercise in fun. I see La Liga having more teams dominate international competition than any other league over the last decade. This is a fact, given all multi-league tournaments. I like the comments people make about EPL being "dynamic" and "you never know what will happen", but to me that does not show "TOP" alone. And La Liga has plenty of that if you look at its history. Perhaps dynamicism could even be a sign of a crumbling infrastructure, mismanagement or overmanagement, or a sign of the way that money works within the system (extreme example: American NFL franchise and budget restrictions). Perhaps not.

La Liga has plenty of "Cinderella Stories" where a town of 27k, Eibar, can make it to the big leagues and take on the world's powerhouses. Getafe goes from Division 7 to the top division in 20 years, and some teams recruit ONLY from their ...more

There is no Discussion about it, La liga as shown and proven that he's the best league in the world. Just late us take the last pass 15 years La liga teams always performed very well rather locally or internationally in mean in UEFA / EUROPA. they have won the most champions league and Europa cup. I remember 4 years ago Bilbao 14th in the la liga log met with Man U. current winner of IPL in EUROPA cup its was a disaster, demolition they way bilbao mess up Man United the best team in IPL and current winner unbelievable, it was a football lessons, MU no where to be found in both legs. so that is to show how dangerous la liga teams are...

There isn't as much money in most of the teams in La Liga like there is in PL, yet the teams in La Liga are always as competitive. Outside of FCB and RM there are other teams like Atletico, Villareal, Malaga, Atl Bilbao, Sevilla, Valencia, that have been not only competitive in La Liga but also in European competitions, and in some instances of late became champions. Consistently La Liga teams perform well on leagues other than their official one. Sadly, these humble teams are usually left without their stars as soon as they have success and go to wealthier teams. Even teams like FCB and RM have to be careful when facing any of the teams in La Liga as they usually lose the title by not beating each other but by losing against teams they should beat 90% of the time. Most Spanish teams would be competitive in any other European league.

I am neither from England nor Spain. My first encounter with football match was a Premier league Manchester derby. I liked EPL very much. And sometimes later I found about all the other European leagues but of all these leagues, La Liga got the better of me. For me, interest came from EPL but La Liga took over it. I believe La Liga is better league than EPL in terms of quality football.

3 Indian Super League (ISL)

This league is coming up fast, with Zico managing one of the clubs. It is a real positive sign for the growth of soccer in the second most populous country on the map, India.

The league is in it's second season and the quality of football has increased tremendously over the previous season... With a combined ISL and I-League in the offing in 2-3 years timeline... This league is sure to make some heads turn in the coming years... if not the best in the world but one of the best in Asia for sure...

High average viewers, though it started a year back
It stands in case of T.V. viewers and average match turnout showing, this is the fourth football league in the world

Indian Super League is turning out to be one of the popular football leagues in the world and to be the best of Asia. With just two seasons past, and the third ongoing the league has already marked its footprint in the history of Indian football. With some amble experienced international legs along with the youth legs of the world and India, makes a different show of football in India. Count on the ISL season by Fifth or Sixth, this league will hit the table of Top Ten leagues of the world. Indian football is rising with Indian Super League!

4 Bundesliga

I am an Indian. Indian super league is like 3 years old, a baby still in its diapers. Lol its ranked 3rd, over Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, etc. which are world class leagues having teams that has been runners up/winners in champions league through many years. I just cannot stop laughing. I mean Damn, you need to be a fool of highest order to rate ISL better than these leagues. Seriously please someone tell me this is a big bad joke.

Why this league placed at number 10? Come on, it should be placed at least number 3. There is no doubt that Indian Premier League is one of the best league in the world but it is not as great as other leagues at Europe. Bundesliga is the best!

Like La Liga BBVA, they arguably have the best Club in the World, Bayern Munich. This league is top class, it feature superstars such as Robben, Ribery, Reus, Muller and most definitely the best Keeper in the world. Neuer.

I am the biggest bayern fan. I mean, they have Robert Lewandowski, Muller, Robben, Boateng, Ribery, their new sighning Vidal, and who could forget the legendary Manuel Neuer. Who can stop them?

5 Serie A

Serie A will always be Serie A. Sure they suffered a decline but players are starting to return. I would love to see Christiano playing in Serie A he would be a 20-25 goals per season, and paying for each one of them.

With Juventus in top form and great teams like Inter, Napoli, AC and Roma. This league will Blow your mind!

It must be a second best league of the world

It is like the premier league but in Italy

6 Süper Lig

Great league good players. The fans and support is fantastic pasion is football

It should be in top 5 leagues

So much hidden talent...

Great Clubs, passionate fans, new stadiums, world class players!

7 Primeira Liga

This league is one of the best when it comes to Competition. They bring Benfica, Porto, Sporting and a whole lot more! This league has some slick skillers like Quaresma and Nani, and player like Ronaldo where born into this league.

Benfica rocks

Exciting and very technical football, with enough drama between Benfica, Porto, Sporting and even Braga to keep you entertained all season. Traditionally a launching station for some biggest football players in European football: Ronaldo, Figo, Deco, Pepe, Futre, Falcao, Rui Costa, James Rodriguez, Paulo Sousa, Eusebio...

Its really the best way better then Indian super ligue

8 Ligue 1

With teams like PSG who never fail to Impress and money happy teams like Monaco and PSG once more, who won't enjoy it? Look out for the Zlatan!

I wish I can see league 1 in top 3

9 Russian Football Premier League

Great league and fun to watch, lots of unrecognized stars only downside would be some racism

With Teams coming at you like Zenit, CSKA, Spartak, Dynamo and Lokomtiv, who would wanna miss out? And be careful because HULK SMASH!

Russia does not have good clubs it shouldn't be in 7th place

UEFA rating speaks for itself.

10 Liga MX

One of the best leagues I have seen with great players and great team that have done the impossible. Like the chivas vs Barcelona game everyone thought that a Mexican team had no chance vs a Spanish league team and the result was chivas 4 vs Barcelona 1. Also some great players have gone out of teams like chivas for example "Chicharito" Hernandez which played in some of the most prestige teams, there is also Andres guardado, angel vela, etc players that have bin making a change in Europe. Let's not forget the biggest rivalry of this league that is CHIVAS vs AMERICA I rather watch this classic of than the Spanish classico.

Underrated league that creates numerous important players. I just don't get it when old European players want to retire in MLS. I guess because of the money but still whats the whole point if all you're doing is playing horrible futbol? Then when such players want to be called up for national selection many teams pass up on them because for numerous clubs 25 goals in MLS is like 5 goals in epl

Competition is always fierce and the top 8 teams making the playoffs add much more excitement because you get to see the top 8 teams of the season battle it out until only one remains and it's rarely the number one ranked team Liga MX is home to the best teams in concacaf with world class teams like C.A America

This league is really one of the greatest in the world. It might not have the best players in the world or anything, but the quality of football you see here is amazing. Watching club America play is like watching Barcelona or Real Madrid play.

The Contenders
11 Absa Premiership

It is simply one of the best leagues, which show cases true entertainment for the football lovers! It should be in the top 7 at the every least.

There are like no good African world class players also barely anyone watches it at all

Best league in africa. Surely we should also be in the top ten in the world

ABSA Premiership should be in the top 10. I believe it is the best in Africa.

12 American Premier League

Who in the world calls Major League Soccer by the name "American Premier League"?

Gaining for sure, kaka, Gerard, a.cole, de Jong although older still effective players. I don't think this league gets enough respect, not quite in the top ten but definitely very close 11 spot for sure.

The Top League in the US soccer has a long way to go to win the hearts of the American people but it is gaining traction. With new clubs entering the mix, clubs bringing in international stars, and the US becoming more and more competitive each year in international play the MLS will get there it's just a matter of time.

It's actually called Major League Soccer.

13 UEFA Champions League

This is the best tournament. Not league.

Idiot put this up here, just cause it says league in the title doesn't mean it's a league it's a tournament

Ucl is not a league it is more important because all team play this league

Real madrid is the best 12 times winner or these league the most time winner

14 Brazilian League

Brazil has the most disputed league, with at least 6 to 8 teams with high potential to win the league at the beginning of the season.

Go Brazil they should be in top10

Liga the zuera

Good teams like flamengo cruzerio santos

15 Persian Gulf Pro League

Best league with great attendance

One of the best league in Asia similar to Italian league there are more than 5 clubs fight for league title until last day of league and with exciting derby between estighlal vs perspolis they have most number of fans in Asia and even sepahan the most successful club in Iran

What a great and dramatic league

Best league in asia

16 A-League (Australia)

17 Eredivisie

With Players like Jasper Cillessen here, and teams like Ajax, PSV, and Feyanoord. Its right up there!

18 Scottish Professional Football League

Best rivalry in the world (Old Firm) as well as 5 other rivalries which make it in to the FIFA top 50 footballing derbies: Edinburgh Derby (Hearts V Hibs), Dundee Derby (Dundee V Dundee Utd), New Firm (Aberdeen v Dundee Utd), Rangers V Aberdeen, Highland Derby (Ross County V Inverness)

19 Saudi Professional League

Most people in Saudi are younger than 30 and most of them admire football. And the government is taking such a huge support to the football league and the national team. I think Saudi is moving fast now to be one of the best in soccer. They have great talented players who really know how to kick a ball. I think we will see some players playing in the best leagues in Europe next years. They are going to be in the World Cup next year!

One of the best leagues in Asia. Great stadiums, great fans specially for top teams in the league, also the performance is great spesficlly for those popular teams in Saudi Arabia such al hilal, Al Nasser, Al ittihad and Al Hali! Worth watch

20 Ukrainian Premier League

It has Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev. Legends where born in this League. Willian, Fernadinho. Make sure to keep an eye out for Shakhtar Donetsk, they Bring top players like Srna, Bernard, Costa, Taison, Teixeira Pyatov and lots more!

21 Football League Championship

One of the most unpredictable leagues in the world, and one of the hardest to get out of.

2nd Tier England still belongs in the top 20 somewhere

22 Jupiler Pro League (Belgium)

A contender for one of the top leagues in europe, it should make the top ten

23 Iran Premier League (IPL)

TRACTOR TABRIZ is the best team in Iranian league with its passionate supporters. Really great team, long live TRACTOR

This league must be in top 10 list... Great quality football is shown in this league...

One of the best Leagues in Asia, With the 2 most popular clubs in Asia (Esteghlal & Perspolis)

24 Champion League

It is not a league and it doesn't have teams only the teams who win their respective leagues and a few other leagues get the top 4 3 and 2 teams into it

25 Nigeria Premier League

It has one of the best youth systems in the world cause who just won the U17 world cup in 2015 and 2013 and winning it the most times
