Sources should be provided for all entries on this list. When adding a new entry to the list of professional leagues, it is often recommended to briefly discuss on the talk page first to ensure that the league is in fact professional. When adding sources to existing or new entries, it is also recommended to archive the website on the Wayback Machine (archive.org/web/) to prevent link rot.

This page is part of the WikiProject on Football and provides a list of known fully professional leagues, and also those that are known to not be fully professional.

The lists are currently incomplete and some entries are lacking sources. Players who have not played in a fully professional league listed below may meet Wikipedia's General notability guideline. Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways. See Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines.

If the source indicating the status is in a PDF document or other long article, please indicate the page number or sub-section. If the source is not in the English language please list the foreign-language text that confirms the fact, and provide an English-language translation.

Of FIFA's 211^[1] current member associations, 210 have men's leagues which are currently included in this list. Liechtenstein does not have its own national league.^[2]
