The Slovenian football champions are the winners of the highest league of association football in Slovenia, PrvaLiga. Also known by the abbreviation 1. SNL, PrvaLiga is contested on a round-robin basis and the championship is awarded to the club that finishes top of the league at the end of the season. The league was established after the independence of Slovenia in 1991, originally containing 21 clubs. Before that, Maribor, Nafta Lendava and Olimpija were the only Slovenian teams who participated in the Yugoslav top division, Yugoslav First League, between the end of World War II in 1945 and the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991. While being a part of the Yugoslav football system, most of the Slovenian clubs competed for the title of regional champions in the Slovenian Republic Football League. However, the Republic League was officially the third tier of football most of the time and the competition was usually without the top Slovenian clubs, who played in the Yugoslav Second League or the country's top division.
Following the independence of Slovenia, the Football Association of Slovenia separated from the Football Association of Yugoslavia and established its own football competitions. Of the founding clubs in the PrvaLiga, only Celje and Maribor have never been relegated as of the 2023–24 season. The format and the number of clubs in the league has changed over time, ranging from 21 clubs in the first season to 10 clubs in its present form. The top three clubs at the end of the season are awarded a qualifying spot in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa Conference League, with the bottom one being relegated to the Slovenian Second League.
