The 2024 Philippines Football League was the sixth season of the Philippines Football League (PFL), the professional football league of the Philippines. The PFL was previously under the sponsorship title of Qatar Airways. The league saw the participation of 15 teams, the most ever since the league's inception, and was held in a round-robin format from April 6 to July 14, 2024.
The season was marked by rapid change. The league was originally planned to feature three phases and culminate in a knockout round format to decide the champion, although plans were changed before the competition started. Liga Futbol Inc. revised the format for the season to a shortened round-robin format, where all teams would play each other once. The season start date was also delayed from its planned date in late March to April 6. Foreigner rules were also relaxed, in keeping with the removal of foreigner restrictions in international competitions by the Asian Football Confederation.[1]
After the success of the expanded 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara, the PFL relaxed the requirements for new clubs to apply. Aside from the five current PFL teams and the remaining teams from the Copa, the league welcomed two new clubs, namely Manila Montet and One Taguig, who were initially registered as Taguig City United. The winners and runners-up of the league would qualify for the revised 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two.
Kaya–Iloilo, the defending champions, secured their second consecutive title with one match left to play.[2][3]
