The J1 League is the top division of Japanese football, born in 1993 when football turned professional in the country. Its teams play each other home and away in a single table, with relegation to the J2 League.

Kashima Antlers, Yokohama F. Marinos and Kawasaki Frontale are among the clubs with the most titles. It is a very balanced league with technical, attacking play, in which several different clubs have won the title in recent decades. That parity makes recent form a more useful indicator than league position in previous seasons.
