It was followed by the first match between Shah Alam City and the defending champions, Pahang Rangers which ended with a 6–6 result. [3]
Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned league champion. Since 2024 there are 8 teams in MPFL Division 1. During the course of a season (starting in mid-February and ending in early November) each club plays the others twice (home and away) for a total of 14 games.
