List of champions
= History
=In 1923, the first edition of leagues was organised in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia where regional championships were also played, besides the top-level national Yugoslav Football Championship. The clubs of the Drina Banovina, part of Littoral Banovina and Vrbas Banovina, territorially similar to present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, played within the Sarajevo Football Subassociation League until 1939. The champions of the Subassociation Leagues were granted a place in the qualifiers for the Yugoslav Championship, at the top national level. SAŠK (1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1930–31), Slavija Sarajevo (1929, 1930, 1932–33, 1934–35, 1935–36, 1936–37, 1937–38, 1938–39, 1939–40), Krajišnik Banja Luka (1935–36) were the clubs to manage to participate in the national league, first in 1923 when the championship was played in a cup system. In 1939, the Yugoslav league system was changed by creating separate Serbian and Croatian-Slovenian Leagues, which would serve as qualifying leagues for the final phase of the Yugoslav Championship. The clubs from the Sarajevo Subassociation played their qualifications to the Serbian League. However, Slavija participated in 1939–40 (3rd place) and 1940–41 (9th place) and played their qualifications to the Croatian-Slovenian League. However, SAŠK managed to participate and did it on both occasions, in 1939–40 (5th place) and 1940–41 (5th place). That would be the last season before the beginning of World War II.
Royal League (1921–1941)
The clubs from the territory of Drina Banovina, part of Littoral Banovina and Vrbas Banovina (belonging to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) had a league organised by the Sarajevo Football Subassociation. The winner had direct access to the Yugoslav Championship.

=War in Bosnia and Herzegovina
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, and following proclamation of independence in late winter 1992, the Bosnian Football Association (N/FSBiH) applied for membership with FIFA and UEFA. Meanwhile, due to the outbreak of the Bosnian War in April 1992, no games were played in the 1992–93 season. In late 1993 some parts of the country re-launched football competitions with reduced scope. But just as the country was divided along ethnic lines, so was football.
In 1993, Bosnian Croats launched the Football Federation of Herzeg-Bosnia and its own First League of Herzeg-Bosnia, in which only Croat clubs competed on a parochial scale within the limits of West Herzegovina and few other enclaves. In the same year, Bosnian Serbs organized the First League of the Republika Srpska on a territory held by the Republika Srpska regime. Only football on territory under the control of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions and auspices the of the N/FSBiH, at the time consequently with Bosniak majority, apart from a brief competition for the season 1994–95 (won by Čelik), came to a standstill.
Competition under N/FSBiH auspices did not resume until the 1995–96 season when the Bosnian First League was officially launched.
