Team changes from last season

Lushnja and Elbasani were directly relegated to the First Division after finishing 11th and 12th in the previous year's standings. They were replaced by First Division champions Laçi and runners-up Skënderbeu.

9th placed Bylis and 10th placed Partizani had to compete in single-match relegation play-offs. Both teams were relegated in the process by losing against the third and fourth-placed teams from First Division, Kastrioti and Gramozi.
