The 2009–10 season Pakistan Premier League was the 6th season of Pakistan Premier League and 55th season of Pakistan football league. A total of 14 teams competed in the league, with Khan Research Laboratories unseating the two-time defending champions WAPDA. The league started on 25 July and ended on 13 December.

The race for the title went to the final day of the season with Khan Research Laboratories and Pakistan Army tied on 57 points. Khan Research Laboratories won their final game defeating Pakistan Airlines 1–0, which meant Pakistan Army has to defeat Karachi Port Trust by at least the 11 goals to win the league. Pakistan Army defeated Karachi Port Trust 2–1, tying both teams on 60 points although Khan Research Laboratories won the league on goal difference, as Khan Research Laboratories finished the season with 10 goals ahead of Pakistan Army; Khan Research Laboratories finished with a goal difference of +32 compared to Pakistan Army's +22. It was the first time a team other than Army or WAPDA won the league since its inception in 2004. PMC Club Athletico Faisalabad and Baloch Nushki faced relegation after finishing in the bottom two.

Notes:
  1. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k The home matches of both Afghan Chaman and Baloch Nushki against Pakistan Army, Khan Research Laboratories, Pakistan Navy, Pakistan Airforce and WAPDA were all moved from Balochistan to Karachi, after the service teams refused to play in Chaman and Nushki citing security reasons; in protest against this decision Afghan and Baloch refused to honour these nominal home matches and were awarded five 0-3 losses each.
  2. ^ National Bank were awarded three points and three goals following their protest that Pakistan Airforce had fielded an illegal player against them in the Premier Football League match that was held at the PAF Complex in Islamabad on August 2. Pakistan Airforce won the original tie 2-0.
