History
The Balkan Super League first round started 11 April 2017. Partizan defeated Red Star 32–26 in the inaugural Balkan Super League Grand Final.
The competition will expand to 15 teams in 2018, with the addition of Greek, Montenegro and Albanian clubs. In the second Grand Final Red Star defeated Partizan. The 2019 season saw the competition split into two divisions. The 2020 season was planned to be a knock-out system with 11 clubs competing from 5 countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The 2022 format featured an incomplete round robin followed by a Grand Final.
