After the Albanian Football Association had to reverse the changeover to a multi-year season from autumn to spring based on the Western European model due to Soviet pressure in 1948 , this step was taken after the break in the close ties between Tirana and Moscow in the 1962/63 season. In the first half of 1962, therefore, no premier league football could be offered. The league was increased from ten to twelve teams for the new season. Therefore, the actual athletic relegated from 1961 , KS Vllaznia Shkodra and FK Tomori Berat , were allowed to stay in the league. In addition, there were two newcomers, Lokomotiva Durrës and KS Korabi Peshkopi , who played its first league season. The defending champion was FK Partizani Tirana .
The championship was played in a regular season with a round trip. Each team competed twice against each other team. The bottom of the table was relegated to the then still second-rate category e dytë . The champion moved into the European Cup .
A total of 362 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 2.7 goals per game. The top scorer with 18 goals was Robert Jashari from FK Partizani Tirana .
Partizani Tirana was able to defend the championship title with four points ahead of Dinamo Tirana . For Partizani it was the ninth championship title in the club's history, while Dinamo was only the runner-up title like last year. Besa Kavaja , who was seventh in 1961, came in third this time, ahead of cup winner 17 Nëntori Tiranë , who was seven points behind Kavaja. Labinoti Elbasan took fifth place just behind . Newcomer Lokomotiva Durrës managed to stay in the league in sixth place, after the club had previously been promoted to the category e Parë twice, but was immediately relegated each time. Behind them came Skënderbeu Korça , Vllaznia Shkodra , Tomori Berat and Traktori Lushnja . Knocked off last was newcomer Korabi Peshkopi , who had to start the direct way back to the second division.
