Current: 2024 MPFL Division 1 |
The Malaysia Premier Futsal League Division 1, commonly abbreviated as MPFL Division 1, is the highest division of the Malaysia Premier Futsal League (MPFL) and is currently contested by 8 teams. Since the MPFL was introduced in 2019, only two teams have ever been crowned champions, namely Selangor in 2019 and 2022 (using the name Selangor MAC) and Pahang Rangers in 2023. MPFL 2020 and 2021 were canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic. Seasons run from mid-February to the early November, with the 8 teams all meeting each other twice, resulting in a 14-match season, for a total of 56 matches league-wide.
Introduced for the 2024 season, the MPFL Division 1 was introduced as the MPFL was split into two separate divisions, thus the MPFL Division 1 being the top-flight division of Malaysian futsal.
