===Promotion and relegation===
A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Athens Premier League and the Athens Championship. The two lowest-placed teams in the Athens Premier League are relegated to the Athens Championship, and the top two teams from the Championship are promoted to the Athens Premier League.
===Video Assistant Referee===
Video assistant referee was introduced to the Athens Premier League at the beginning of the 2017–18 season. It's a technology that assists on-field referees in making decisions, particularly in cases of goals, penalties, red cards, and mistaken identity. VAR involves the use of video footage and communication between the on-field referee and a team of officials who review incidents from different camera angles to ensure fair and accurate decisions.
