The Liberian First Division, officially known as Orange First Division for sponsorship reasons, is the highest division of football in Liberia. The first division league began in 1956 and has only once been won by a club outside Monrovia. It has been dominated by Mighty Barrolle FC and Invincible Eleven FC. The league is organized by the Liberia Football Association. In 2010, the league became known as the Orange Premier League for sponsorship reasons and it is now called LFA-Orange First Division League.

Sponsorship

In March 2010, Cellcom GSM, a telecommunications corporation in Liberia and Guinea contracted a three-year sponsorship deal with the League until the end of the 2012–13 season.

In October 2013, Cellcom GSM and the Liberia Football Association extended their deal to another three years until the end of the 2015–16 season.
