The 2008 TeleChoice Premier League season was the eighth season of the revamped NSW Premier League. This season also marked the promotion of two new teams, in the West Sydney Berries and the Macarthur Rams from the Super League (one division lower).

The 2008 season officially began on February 22 and concluded with the Grand Final between Wollongong FC and the Sutherland Sharks on September 7.

Before the start of the season, all the 2008 teams competed in the Johnny Warren Cup, the official pre-season tournament. On February 16, Sydney Olympic defeated the Sutherland Sharks 2 goals to 1 at Seymour Shaw Park to win the Johnny Warren Cup[1].

Throughout the season many Premier League, Super League, Division One and Division Two teams competed in an FA Cup-style knockout competition in which the Bankstown City Lions and Sydney Olympic contested the Grand Final with Bankstown prevailing 3-1 winners[2].
