2020 Malaysia Premier League


The 2020 Malaysia Premier League was the 17th season of the Malaysia Premier League, the second-tier professional football league in Malaysia since its establishment in 2004.
The season started on 29 February and was scheduled to end on 20 July 2020. However, on 13 March, it was announced that the league would be suspended indefinitely, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On 1 May, it was announced that the league would resume in September dependent on the pandemic situation at the time. Due to time constraints, the home-and-away format for the Super League and the Premier League was scrapped. Teams played each other only once, meaning the champions of the Super League and Premier League were decided after eleven rounds of matches.
