List of Malaysia football champions

Football league competition in Malaysia began in 1982, with each state represented by its own teams competing in the Liga Malaysia. However, its purpose was only to serve as a qualifying round for the knockout stage of the Malaysia Cup. At that time, all states, in addition to the police and military teams, participated in this league, as well as Singapore and Brunei, which send an amateur team to the competition.

Between 1989 and 1993, the Malaysian football league entered the semi-professional era with the establishment of the Liga Semi-Pro (MSPFL).

From 1994 to 1997, Malaysian football witnessed the establishment of the country's first professional football league, the Liga Perdana, in which all teams were classified into a single league.

In 1998, the league was split again with the creation of two divisions, Liga Perdana 1 and Liga Perdana 2, which operated until 2003.

The Malaysia Super League was introduced in 2004 to replace the previous top division as Malaysian football entered an era of football league privatization.
