In the 2018, Terengganu City won the championship in their inaugural season, after beating Selangor United 2–0 at the KLFA Stadium.

As finalist together with Selangor United, The Sharks qualified for automatic promotion into the Malaysia Premier League.

However, on 28 November 2018, Malaysia Football League barred Terengganu City from participating in the 2019 Malaysia Premier League, as a result of financial problems within the team's management and claims of several players and staff for unpaid wages.
