The 2022 Malaysia Premier League was the 19th season of the Malaysia Premier League, the second-tier professional football league in Malaysia since its establishment in 2004. This was the last season of Malaysia Premier League as the league discontinued from the following year.
A possible 6 non-feeder teams from this league were planned to be promoted to the upcoming 18-team expansion Malaysia Super League next season. The top 4 non-feeder teams were planned to be promoted automatically to the 2023 Malaysia Super League. The bottom two non-feeder teams will need a play-off against 2022 Malaysia M3 League champions and runners-up to decide the last two spots for promotion to the Super League. However, on 27 September 2022, it was announced by Malaysia Football League that the bottom two non-feeder teams, Perak and UiTM has been promoted automatically to 2023 Super League because the M3 teams that applied for licensing to play in Super League, including champions PIB FC, have failed in their application.[1]
The top 5 non-feeder teams will qualify for the 2022 Malaysia Cup.
