Honduras - List of Champions


A first league, the Francisco Morazán Major Football League, was organised in 1948, restricted mostly to the south of the country, with participants Olimpia, Federal, Motagua, Argentina, Real España and Victoria; the 1948 title was won by Victoria ahead of Motagua; Victoria won again in 1951, but this league is not recognised as an official national championship.

It is unclear whether Victoria's 1947/48 championship in this competition is identical to their 1948 title in the Francisco Morazán Major Football League.
Prior to 1938, tournaments apparently were played as well:
