The 8 clubs
Clubs are listed from the strongest to the weakest at the start of a new career. A club's rating decides its squad quality, budget and gate, and it moves as the seasons pass, so the order changes as clubs win trophies.

This league used to be the Jamaican League with six clubs. The two Haitian clubs, Limbé Lougawous and Bainet Bakas, joined it, it took its present name, and its season changed from four rounds to three. The old address, /leagues/jamaican/, leads here.
League format
The Caribbean League is a single division with 8 clubs: every pair of clubs meets three times, twice at one ground and once at the other. That gives every club 21 league matches, played over 21 matchdays in weeks 8 to 34 of the 52-week season. The league takes a break of 6 weeks at the halfway point.
The club with the best record after the last matchday is the league champion.
The table is sorted by wins first, then point difference, then points scored, then Snitches caught. There is no promotion or relegation: every club stays in its league and plays the same competition each season.
Cups and international places
League results decide who goes to the big tournaments. From the Caribbean League the game sends 2 places in the 8-club North American Cup and 1 place in the 32-club Champions League.
Berths go to the clubs with the best record in the last three campaigns: first by titles won (every title counts equally, whichever season it was won in), then by combined league wins, then by how recently the club won a title. The Champions League looks at the last five campaigns the same way, and 5 of its 32 places are wildcards for the latest Champions League winner and the latest winners of the European Cup and the continental cups. Read the full rules on the competitions page.
Youth and talent
The league's annual youth intake comes from Ilvermorny. Graduates are aged 16 to 18 and take their nationality from the academy league; Ilvermorny is shared with the USA League, whose clubs compete for the same graduates. The first intake opens in the second season of a career. The beginner's guide explains how to sign graduates, transfers and contracts.
