The 2021 Philippines Football League (known as The Philippines Football League brought to you by Qatar Airways for sponsorship reasons) was to be the fifth season of Philippines Football League (PFL), professional football league of the Philippines. However, the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
The league's 2021 season was scheduled to kick off on August 21, 2021, but was postponed due to the implementation of enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.[2][3] It was postponed again for several times.[4][5][6] The latest schedule for the season's start date was on October 27, 2021, provided that Cavite is under general community quarantine by October 16 and there are at least six confirmed participating clubs.[7]
The 2021 season was canceled on October 22, 2021, and it was announced that the league cup tournament, 2021 Copa Paulino Alcantara, would be held in its place.[1] It will start on November 7, 2021.[8] The organization of the Copa Paulino Alcantara was previously uncertain, having not been held during the previous season.[9][10]
