43 sides competed in this edition of the competition, split into three groups. Groups A and B contained 27 sides from the surrounding areas of Tripoli, Zawiya, Misrata and Sabha. These were split into two groups, Group A with 14 sides, Group B with 13 sides. Group C contained 16 teams from the surrounding areas of Butnan, Benghazi, Jabal al Akhdar and Sirte.

The team that finished top of each of the three groups won direct promotion to the Libyan Premier League, and would enter a mini-league at the end of the season to decide the winner of the competition. The team that finished second in each of the three groups entered a Relegation promotion play-off League, along with the 13th-placed side in the 2007–08 edition of the Libyan Premier League.
