The Bangladesh Premier League (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ প্রিমিয়ার লিগ), simply known as the BPL and officially ABG Bashundhara Bangladesh Premier League since 2023 for sponsorship reasons,[1] is the top tier of the Bangladeshi football league system. It is run by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).
