The 2022 Malaysia Premier League was the 19th season of the Malaysia Premier League, the second-tier professional football league in Malaysia since its establishment in 2004. This was the last season of Malaysia Premier League as the league discontinued from the following year.
A possible 6 non-feeder teams from this league were planned to be promoted to the upcoming 18-team expansion Malaysia Super League next season. The top 4 non-feeder teams were planned to be promoted automatically to the 2023 Malaysia Super League. The bottom two non-feeder teams will need a play-off against 2022 Malaysia M3 League champions and runners-up to decide the last two spots for promotion to the Super League. However, on 27 September 2022, it was announced by Malaysia Football League that the bottom two non-feeder teams, Perak and UiTM has been promoted automatically to 2023 Super League because the M3 teams that applied for licensing to play in Super League, including champions PIB FC, have failed in their application.[1]
The top 5 non-feeder teams will qualify for the 2022 Malaysia Cup.
Team changes
[edit]A total of 10 teams contested the league, including 8 sides from the 2021 season and 2 relegated from the 2021 Malaysia Super League.[2]
Notes:
- ^1 No teams from Malaysia M3 League were promoted due to the 2021 Malaysia M3 League season cancellation.
- ^2 No teams were relegated to Malaysia M3 League as it was decided to keep all the teams from the previous season that were not promoted or expelled.
- ^3 Parent Team and Feeder Team cannot play in the same league, therefore after the relegation of Perak FC from Malaysia Super League last year, Perak II must now play in Malaysia M3 League or dissolve. The team later elected to dissolve itself.[3]

Notes:
- ^ a b c Johor Darul Ta'zim II, Selangor II, and Terengganu II aren't eligible to promote as their parent clubs (Johor Darul Ta'zim, Selangor, and Terengganu) play in the Super League. These feeder teams can only play in leagues below their parents'. They also can't play in the Malaysian Cup as they're only eligible to play in the Malaysian Cup if their parents fail to do so (which is not possible currently).
- ^ UiTM FC withdrew from Liga Super before the start of 2023 season.
- ^ Perak have been deducted three points on 1st April for breaching the finances regulation. Later, six points more were deducted on 15th April following the failure to pay the players and officials salary one day before.[10]
- ^ FAM-MSN Project is only as a backup squad and will not promote to Super League.
