Notes:
- ^ Dinamo Tirana qualified for the UEFA Cup qualifying round by winning the 2002–03 Albanian Cup.
- ^ Lushnja and Apolonia finished the season level on points so the Albanian Football Association decided to organise a playoff game to determine which side will be relegated to the Kategoria e Parë.
