The Liga Imperial (Creeperian SpanishCreeperian: Լիգա Իմպերիալ; Jackian: Imperial League) is the top division of professional football in Creeperopolis which is organized by the National Football Association (ANF).

The Liga Imperial was formed in 1904 as the National League (Liga Nacional; LN). During the Creeperian Civil War, the league suspended operations, and after the war ended, the league resumed operations and renamed itself to the Premier League (Liga Primera; LP), which was later renamed to the Liga Imperial in 1953.

The league consists of 16 teams which play each other twice per year. The two worst teams per year are automatically relegated to the Segunda División, while the third and fourth worst teams play a relegation match, the loser of which is relegated to the Segunda División. The eight teams with the best records continue to play in a tournament which concludes in a championship match, the tournament being known as the Copa Creeperiano. The Copa Creeperiano is also among the biggest club sporting events in the world, with the individual games accounting for many of the most watched television programs in Creeperian history with over 250 to 300 million viewers nationally every year. Liga Imperial games are broadcast within Creeperopolis, El Salvador, and the State of the Church.
