The Botola Pro, Morocco’s top league
The Botola Pro is the top division of Moroccan football, run by the National Professional Football League under the authority of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. Sixteen clubs face off in home-and-away fixtures, for a total of thirty matchdays, from September to June. Wydad and Raja Casablanca, FAR Rabat, Renaissance Berkane, FUS Rabat, Difaa El Jadida and Moghreb Tétouan are the most closely followed names, and every season sees two clubs promoted from Botola 2 shake up the pecking order.
This page tracks the current season day by day: the upcoming matchday’s fixtures with kick-off times, odds from our partner bookmaker as soon as they’re published, the latest results, the full standings with each team’s form, and the schedule for the coming matchdays. The data is refreshed automatically several times a day.
How to read the Botola Pro standings
The table works like any league standings with a two-point gap between a win and a draw: three points for a win, one for a draw. The top two qualify for the CAF Champions League, the third-place team for the Confederation Cup, a spot that can also go to the winner of the Throne Cup. At the bottom, the last-placed teams are relegated to Botola 2. The colour-coded zones in the table match these rules exactly, as applied by the league this season.
The Form column shows each club’s last five results, win, draw or loss. It’s often more telling than the ranking when trying to call a match: a mid-table side on a three-game winning streak plays very differently from a top club going through a rough patch.
Betting on the Botola Pro from Morocco
In Morocco, sports betting is only legal through the nationally licensed operator, MDJS. In practice, most Moroccan bettors also use foreign-licensed betting sites that accept accounts in dirhams, such as 1xBet, Melbet or Linebet, with deposits via CashPlus or bank card. These operators cover every Botola matchday with several hundred markets per match.
The most popular markets on the Botola are the 1X2 result, total goals (over/under 2.5) and “both teams to score”. The Moroccan league is known for its tight scorelines and high number of draws, which often makes the odds on the draw and on under 2.5 goals worth a look. The best-odds table above highlights, in blue, the outcome the bookmaker rates as most likely for each market.
- Compare the odds before placing a bet: on the same match, the gap between two bookmakers can top 10%.
- Check the form and the schedule: a club playing in the Africa Cup midweek often shows up depleted at the weekend.
- The 1xBet promo code MFTOP unlocks a 200% welcome bonus up to 5,000 MAD on your first deposit, playable on combo bets.
- Set a budget per matchday and stick to it: sports betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
