In the 2008 season the first level was renamed Liga Super Indonesia (LSI).
Between 2011 and 2013, two competing leagues existed, but only the LSI managed to complete each season professionally, in stark contrast to the LPI (which was officially sanctioned by the PSSI for the 2011/12 and 2013 seasons). The 2015 LSI was abandoned after the government forbade the PSSI to run any football competition. In 2016 a new league called Torabika Soccer Championship was started; it was not considered official but it marked the first time since 2010 that an undisputed top league was finished regularly. For 2017, the top level was renamed Liga 1 (whose participants corresponded to those of the 2016 Torabika Soccer Championship apart from some minor name changes).

NB: the Liga Sepakbola Utama (1979-1994) was a semi-professional,
the Liga Indonesia (1994-2007) a professional league.
Only the 4th and 13th edition of Galatama were decided by a championship
final, all others by a double round-robin league system, which was first
applied for the Liga Indonesia in 2003.
In 2011, a rebel league (LPI, Liga Primer Indonesia) was formed, which was
(under a new name: Liga Prima Indonesia) officially recognised by the PSSI
at the start of the 2011/12 season; however, at the end of the 2013 season
(in which the LPI did not manage to finish either the regular season nor
the hastily set-up play-offs) the LPI was dissolved and its clubs were
readmitted to the LSI - with only 4 LPI clubs allowed to enter the LSI
top level (of 22 clubs) in 2014. Therefore, we here consider the LSI as
having continuously represented the Indonesian top level during the period,
and the LPI as a rebel league (see below).

NB: the PSSI officially recognised the LPI for the 2011/12 and 2013 seasons.
Number of Titles (64; 62 runners-up finishes; one title shared) since independence
NB: this includes the 24 editions of the amateur championship organised by the P.S.S.I.
between 1951-1994, the 38 editions of (semi-)professional leagues listed above, and
the one completed edition of the LPI. For the periods 1979-1994 and 2011-2013, this
means two championships existed in parallel. The 1973-75 championship is counted as
a win for both Persija and PSMS. The 13 editions of the championship organised by
the P.S.S.I. between 1931 and 1943 are not counted, as the P.S.S.I. did not represent
the country during the colonial era.
