Until 1992, it served as the second tier of Bangladeshi football before being replaced by the now-defunct Dhaka First Division Football League (1993–2006 second-tier version). In 2012, the league was further demoted to become the country's fourth tier. The two top-finishing teams in the Super League round are automatically promoted to the Dhaka Senior Division League (formerly Dhaka League).
The league is the second-highest division of semi-professional football in the country and is run by the Dhaka Metropolitan Football Committee under the supervision of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).
