The 2021 Malaysia Premier League is the 18th season of the Malaysia Premier League, the second-tier professional football league in Malaysia since its establishment in 2004.
First and second place non-feeder team will be promoted to the 2022 Malaysia Super League. The top 5 non-feeder teams will qualify for the 2021 Malaysia Cup.
A total of 11 teams contested the league, including 9 sides from the 2020 season, 1 relegated from the 2020 Malaysia Super League, and 1 team formed by FAM and National Sports Council Malaysia (NSC).
Notes:
^2 Felda United's application for privatization was not approved by Football Association of Malaysia and therefore the team not qualified to participating in the league. ^3 FAM-MSN Project were a development team form by FAM and National Sports Council Malaysia (NSC) as alternative career pathway for the NFDP graduates. They took the spot left by Felda United. ^4 No teams from Premier League were relegated due to the FAM decision to keep the league teams at 10 following Felda and UKM expulsion. ^5 UKM FC registration was not approved by FAM as they failed to provide concrete proof of financial backing for the new season.
