Singapore Premier League 2

The Singapore Premier League 2, commonly abbreviated as the SPL2, officially known as the AIA Singapore Premier League for sponsorship reasons, is a men's football reserve league sanctioned by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), which represents the sport's second highest level in the Singapore football league system.

The league was founded as the Singapore Premier League 2 on 2 July 2025, after the FAS announced its intention to promote and expand the growing local football community by having a developmental league under the Singapore Premier League, the country's top flight league.

A precursor to SPL2 was the Prime League, for the reserve and youth players of S. League clubs, which was organised by the FAS from 1997 to 2017.

History The league aims to ensure Singaporean players get sufficient playing time, and was introduced to replace the SPL under-21 competition. The league established a clear link between development and first-team football, with squads integrated across both competitions. This structure aligns both club needs and national development, by expanding the base of competitive opportunities while keeping quality and progression at the forefront.

Clubs must register a combined squad for both the SPL and SPL2, with a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 50 players. At least 25 of them must be Singaporeans. First-team players and foreigners are allowed to play in the league, of which a minimum of six locals, four of whom must be under-23, on the pitch at all time. In addition, senior players can participate where it is appropriate to regain fitness or form.

Clubs A total of 8 clubs have played in the league from its inception in the 2025–26 season.
