This is a list of top-division association football clubs in UEFA countries. UEFA, the European football confederation, includes all European countries except Monaco and Vatican City as members, but also includes the Asian countries of Israel, Cyprus and Armenia.
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom, have their own football associations and separate UEFA membership. The Faroe Islands, an autonomous region of Denmark, also has its own football association which is a member of UEFA. On the other hand, the football association of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, had its member application rejected by UEFA in 2007. The Crown dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man are not members of UEFA, but members of the English Football Association.
Each of the UEFA member countries, except Liechtenstein, have their own football league systems. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for places in next season's UEFA club competitions, i.e., the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup, and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league are different every season, except in San Marino where there is only one level.
The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in bold.
Please note: Some clubs do not play in the league of the country in which they are located, but in a neighbouring country's league. Where this is the case the club is noted as such.
* For clubs playing at lower divisions, see the separate articles linked to in the relevant sections.
* For clubs belonging to any of the other five continental football confederations of the world, see List of football (soccer) clubs.
