Welcome to the clusterfuck of our post-Covid league:
2019-20: 18 teams
2020-21: 21 teams (no one got relegated, 3 teams got promoted)
2021-22: 20 teams
2022-23: 19 teams
2023-24: 20 teams (original plan was to have 18 teams this season but the earthquake prevented 2 teams from finishing their season so only 2 different teams were relegated with 3 new teams getting promotion)
Nah, 18 is the golden standard. Especially if you look at a population of 80 million. What bothers me instead is the amount of İstanbul teams in the league, 9 out of the 20 teams are from the biggest city.

I’d say even the usual 18 teams is a bit too much for Turkish league. 16 would be better.

I’ve only been to Izmir and Istanbul but Istanbul is by far the biggest city. London also dominates the premier league
