Premier League (Malaysia) 2022/23

Liga Premier, or the Malaysia Premier League, operated as the second tier of the Malaysian football league system from 2004 until its discontinuation after the 2022 season. Founded by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to replace the Liga Perdana 2, it served as a bridge between the top-flight Malaysia Super League (MSL) and the third-tier Malaysia M3 League. In 2015, operations were transferred to the Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP), later known as the Malaysia Football League (MFL).

The league featured 12 clubs playing a double round-robin format. From 2004 to 2006, it was split into two groups with a final between group winners; from 2007, it became a single division. Promotion and relegation were direct: the top two teams from the Premier League were promoted to the MSL, while the bottom two MSL teams were relegated to the Premier League. No playoffs were used for this exchange.

The final champions were Johor Darul Ta'zim FC II in 2022. Notably, feeder clubs like JDT II were ineligible for promotion to the MSL regardless of their standing. The most successful clubs in the league's history were FELDA United, Kedah Darul Aman, and Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), each with two titles. Other winners included MPPJ FC (2004), Selangor FA (2005), Kedah (2005–06), PDRM (2006–07), Kuala Muda Naza (2007–08), Harimau Muda (2009), and Felda United (2010).

The Malaysia Premier League differed from the Malaysia Cup (Piala Malaysia), founded in 1921, which is a knockout competition and the oldest football trophy in Asia. While the MSL is the primary professional league, the Premier League provided the necessary competitive structure for lower-tier professional and semi-professional clubs. The current second tier is the A1 Semi-Pro League, which replaced the Premier League's role but operates with different licensing and promotion criteria, often involving league expansion rather than strict sporting relegation from the MSL.
