Teams

Changes from the previous season

A total of thirteen teams contest the league, including ten from the 2024–25 season, two promoted from the A1 Semi-Pro League and one invited team. Kedah Darul Aman and Perak were expelled following financial difficulties.[2][3] Two teams promoted from the A1 Semi-Pro League, Melaka and Immigration, are debuting in the Super League.[4][5] Meanwhile, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced that the Brunei-based DPMM FC will compete in the new Super League season,[4] after receiving approval from FIFA to participate in Malaysia’s professional league.[6] On 20 June, Sri Pahang have officially withdrawn from the 2025–26 season, despite being granted a national licence by the MFL.[7] The club submitted a formal letter dated 16 June, stating their decision not to participate in the new campaign, which kicks off on 8 August 2025.[8] Kelantan Darul Naim changed the name to Kelantan The Real Warriors for this season.
