The Liga Panameña de Fútbol (English: Panamanian Football League) is the top tier football league in Panama. Until 2009, the league was named Asociación Nacional Pro Fútbol (ANAPROF).
The league's season is divided into two tournaments called the Apertura and Clausura. Both tournaments have an identical format. Each tournament has two stages: the first stage is a double round-robin round where each team plays every other team twice, once at home and once away. The top-four teams advance to a final stage, a single-elimination culminating with a final match.
The first stage of both tournaments is combined into an aggregate table to determine relegation. The team with the fewest points is relegated to the Primera A for the following season.
The champions of both tournaments qualify to the CONCACAF Champions League.
The 2017–18 Liga Panameña de Fútbol season (also known as the Liga Cable Onda) also is the 28th season of top-flight football in Panama. The season began on 17 July 2017 and is scheduled to end in May 2018. Ten teams will complete throughout the entire season.
