The 2015 Malaysia Premier League (also known as Liga Premier Malaysia 2015) is the 12th season of the Malaysia Premier League since its inception in 2004. 12 teams participated in the league with PDRM FA as the reigning champions and currently play in the top flight of Malaysian football, Malaysia Super League.

Rule changes

A total of 4 foreign players can be registered by Premier League teams, including at least one player from AFC countries. A maximum of 3 foreign players can be fielded at one time in a match. The announcement was made by FAM during the exco meeting in November 2013, following a decision to upgrade the foreign players quota from 2 in 2013 to 3 in the April 2013 meeting. The Premier League also introduced the "home grown players" rule, which aims to encourage the development of young footballers at Premier League clubs. The new rule required clubs to name at least five U-21 players in their squad.

Name changes

Negeri Sembilan were renamed to NS Matrix

Teams

A total of 12 teams are contesting the league, including 8 sides from the 2014 season, two promoted from the 2014 Malaysia FAM League and two relegated from 2014 Malaysia Super League.
