2010 Latvian Higher League (Template:Lang-lv) is the 19th season of top-tier football in Latvia. It will begin on 9 April 2010 with the first round of games. Liepājas Metalurgs are the defending champions, having won their second league title last year.
Team changes from last season
Due to a match fixing scandal last year, Dinaburg FC were excluded from the Latvian Higher League and were relegated to the Latvian First League.[1][2]
Promoted to the Higher League from the First Division automatically were last year's First Division champions, Jelgava.
Daugava Rīga finished in 8th place in last year's Higher League competition and competed in a promotion/relegation playoff against the runners-up of the First Division, Jaunība Rīga. Jaunība Rīga won this two-legged playoff 1-1 (1-0 on away goals scored) and won promotion to the Higher League for this season and Daugava Rīga was relegated to the First Division.
Despite finishing last year's First Division competition in 9th place, Daugava Daugavpils were offered a place in this year's Higher League competition, which the club accepted.
Format change
With the re-expansion of the league to 10 clubs, the format of the competition was altered for the third year in a row. The ten clubs will play 18 rounds of matches, once at home and once away, against each of the other nine clubs in the league. After this, another nine rounds of matches will be played for a total of 27 matches. The clubs finishing in the first five positions after 18 rounds will receive the benefit of hosting five of their last nine matches.[3]
