The A Lyga (English: The A League), currently also known as General Financing A Lyga for sponsoring purposes,[citation needed] is the top division of professional football in Lithuania. It is organized by LFF (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Futbolo Federacija, English: Lithuanian Football Federation). League size has varied between 8 and 12 teams over the past few years; for its 2011 season, the league features 12 teams. The season usually kicks off in late March/early April every year; because of the harsh climate there are no games in the winter.
