Football is among the most popular team sports in Pakistan, together with long time number one cricket and field hockey. Pakistan's current top domestic football league is the Pakistan Premier League, formed with sixteen clubs to promote football in the country. The first national league began in 2003 and was immediately recognised by the AFC as the official national football league. Football in general is run by the Pakistan Football Federation.

The Pakistan Premier League is a Pakistani semi-professional league for men's football clubs. At the top of the Pakistan football league system, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the PFFL B Division. The league has remained inactive since the end of the 2018–19 season.
