The 2016 United Football League will be the seventh season of the UFL since its establishment as a semi-professional league in 2009. Division 2 is disbanded for this season with all teams competing in one division.[1]

The league competition which started in April 30 and will end in late September 2016 will follow a pure double round robin match with no play-offs.[1] For the 2016 edition the foreign player cap is reduced to four from five foreign foreign players in a playing squad of 18 players, including 7 substitutes. At least one of the four maximum allowable foreign players must be from the Asian country. This is to align to the guidelines followed at the AFC Cup and AFC Champions League. However, a club with more than 25 players may have more than four foreign players in their whole squad provided that they comply with the 4-player foreign player limit rule during match day.[1]

Venue

Matches will be played at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.[1]
