Draw
The draw for the group stage was held on 22 July 2019, 12:00 MYT (UTC+8), at the Damansara Performing Arts Centre in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. [1] The 16 teams were drawn into 4 groups. [2] In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the knockout stage.
The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting this season):
- Pot 1, 2 and 3 contained the 11 top teams from 2019 Super League, seeded based on their final standings or end placements in the league.
- Pot 3 and 4 contained the 5 top teams from 2019 Premier League, seeded based on their final standings or end placements in the league.
The fixtures were decided after the draw, using a computer draw not shown to public, with the following match sequence.
Note: Positions for scheduling do not use the seeding pots, e.g. Team 1 is not necessarily the team from Pot 1 in the draw.
