Premier Soccer League is the trading name of the National Soccer League of South Africa, also known by its initials (PSL). The PSL's is divided into two leagues. The top league is the Castle Premiership, sponsored by Castle Lager. The next highest league is the Mvela Golden League, sponsored by business magnate Tokyo Sexwale's Mvelaphanda Holdings.

The PSL was founded by Kaizer Motaung, Irvin Khoza, Raymond Hack and Jomo Sono, in 1996. The current CEO of the PSL is Trevor Phillips. Manning Rangers, now playing in the Mvela League, were the first to be crowned champions of the PSL in 1997.

The league was reduced to 16 from 18 teams after the end of the 2001-2002 season.

The bottom team in the Castle Premiership is automatically relegated, and the team finishing second-last competes in the Mvela Platinum play-offs with the teams finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Mvela Golden League.

Until 2004, the First Division was divided into the Coastal Stream and the Inland Stream (geographically representing coastal and inland teams respectively), with the winner of each being promoted to the premiership. Since 2004, however, the First Division has become national.
