In the previous year the clubs were initially separated into four equal groups, with a single round-robin played in each to divide the groups into top-two and bottom-two clusters. The top two of every group qualified for the knock-out stage while the bottom-two clubs of each set battled for the Plate. The eight teams who made it to the knock-out stages were given the right of playing in the league first division while teams who played for the Plate proceeded to the league second division.

Philippine Air Force successfully grabbed their second title.

Matches were rescheduled since some players playing for the clubs were on national duty as members of the U23 National Team competing in the 2011 Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.[2] Games originally scheduled on November 6 at the Nomads Sports Club were postponed due to pitch conditions. Games scheduled on that day were Team Socceroo vs Kaya and Green Archers United vs Manila Lions.[3]

On November 10, the UFL Executive Committee released the official schedule of the remaining matches on their official Facebook account.
