If there is a tie for the championship or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. There is no automatic promotion and relegation between the Pro League and National Super League, the second-level in the Trinidad and Tobago football league system.

Cup competitions The TT Pro League organises four knock-out cup competitions each league season: the League Cup (commonly called the First Citizens Cup), the Digicel Pro Bowl, the TOYOTA Classic, and the Goal Shield (or for sponsorship reasons, the Lucozade Sport Goal Shield).
