With the advent of two-league Semi-Pro League in 1989, FAM Cup becomes the third-tier competition.

Promotion to the professional M-League were introduced for the first time in 1997, Johor FC and NS Chempaka were the first two sides to be promoted that year.
The final knockout competition format was played for 2007 season where four clubs were promoted including the champions, runner-up and the losing semi-finalists. In 2008, a further changes were made when the knockout stages were abolished and double round-robin league format was introduced. The tournament now known as Liga FAM.
In 2016, FAM decided to rename the competition again from Liga FAM back to its original name, the Piala FAM. However, the format of the competition still be competed as a league tournament as before. The final match for 2016 season has been broadcast by Astro Arena.
