History

The Punjab State Super Football League was started in 1986 by the Punjab Football Association. However, during the early days the league was played as a knock-out tournament for at least one week, thus was not granted state league status by the All India Football Federation till 2001. In 2001, the Punjab Football Association reformed the league to make it more into a league which would be played on a home and away basis. This thus earned the league its "state league" status.

In 2014, the Punjab State Super Football League was relaunched with JCT Limited as the title sponsors. The league would also be played in a number of different cities to promote grassroots football and prize money would be given out to provide an incentive for teams participating.
