2018 Latvian Higher League

Latvian Higher League or Virslīga, (sponsored name of SynotTip Higher League), is a professional football league and the top tier of association football in Latvia. Organised by the Latvian Football Federation, Higher League is contested by 8 clubs.


The League has changed sponsors for several times. From 2005 until 2011 it was known as LMT Virslīga. In 2012 the league was reorganised in partnership with the NGO as "Latvijas Futbola virslīga",[1] adopting the NGO's name. In March 2016, it was announced that the Virslīga would be sponsored by SynotTip on a three-year contract.[2]
