1. Division, officially the Danish 1st Division, is the second level of Danish football, sitting just below the Danish Superliga. It is a nationwide league featuring a mix of ambitious clubs that eye promotion to the top flight and groups working to secure stable standing in the pyramid. The format is a regular league: a set number of teams play home-and-away matches in a double round-robin, with the season typically running from July through May, including a winter break. The champion earns promotion to the Superliga, while other high finishers enter promotion playoffs or earn another route back to the top tier; the bottom teams face relegation to the Danish 2nd Division.
