# Lidl Unihockey Prime League (men's floorball)

Unihockey Prime League Men (also known as Lidl Unihockey Prime League Men due to sponsorship, abbreviated as L-UPL Men) is the top men's floorball league in Switzerland. The league consists of 12 teams. It was first played in the 1983–84 season.
The champion of the league is eligible to compete at the Champions Cup. The lower league is National League B.

## History

Since its founding, the league was known as National League A (NLA). Between the 2007–08 and 2012–13 seasons, it was renamed Swiss Mobiliar League (SML) due to sponsorship, before reverting to NLA. The league adopted its current name in the 2022–23 season following a new sponsorship agreement.
The Superfinal, a single match deciding the championship title, was introduced in 2015.

## Competition format

In the regular season, all teams play each other twice, resulting in a total of 22 rounds. Teams earn 3 points for a win, 2 points for an overtime win, and 1 point for an overtime loss.
At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams advance to the playoff quarterfinals. The top three teams get to choose their opponents from the bottom four in the quarterfinals. Semifinal matchups are determined based on regular season standings. The quarterfinals and semifinals are played in a best-of-seven format. The final consists of a single match, held alongside the women's league final as part of the Superfinal event. The league champion qualifies for the Champions Cup. If the same team wins both the league and the Swiss Cup, the league runner-up also qualifies. The finalists of both competitions face off in the Supercup.
The bottom four teams from the regular season compete in the relegation playoffs, with 9th vs. 12th and 10th vs. 11th playing best-of-seven series. The winners remain in the league, while the losers face the top two teams from National League B (NLB) in a best-of-seven promotion/relegation playoff.
