The 2026 season was the 7th season of the Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL) and the 17th season of the Malaysian futsal league overall. The Malaysia Premier Futsal League is contested by 9 teams. The season began on 16 May, and concluded on 31 October 2026. Johor Darul Ta'zim were the defending champions.
Rule & format The Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL) 2026 introduces a new centralized carnival format, merging Division 1 and Division 2 into a single unified league. The season runs from 16 May to 31 October 2026 and features 9 competing teams.
1. League Stage (Preliminary Round): Single Division: No more separation between Division 1 and Division 2. All teams compete in one league. Double Round-Robin: Every team plays 16 matches in total (home and away simulation). Carnival Concept (Circuits): Traditional home-and-away travel is replaced by a "Turn Up & Play" system. Matches are held across 9 circuits at three main centralized venues: Pasir Gudang City Council Indoor Stadium, Pasir Gudang, Johor Panasonic Sports Complex, Shah Alam, Selangor Sukpa Stadium, Kuantan, Pahang
Double Headers: Each team plays two matches over a single tournament weekend.
2. Knockout Stage (Play-offs & Finals): The championship series has been restructured for high-stakes drama: Automatic Qualification: The top two teams at the end of the league stage qualify directly for the Semi-finals. Play-off Round: The remaining two semi-final spots are decided by a play-off between teams finishing 3rd to 6th. 3rd place vs. 6th place. 4th place vs. 5th place.
New Semi-final Rule: Teams must win both legs to advance to the Final: Aggregate goals do not matter. If Team A wins the first match and Team B wins the second match, the tie goes straight to extra time and penalties during the second leg.
