As in the previous season, the league comprised twelve teams. 1975/76 was Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin relegated from the Kategoria e Pare, for the new season came KS Skënderbeu Korçë that rose directly back into the first league, added. The defending champion was KS Dinamo Tirana .
The championship was played in a regular season with a round trip. Each team competed twice against each other team. Unlike in the previous seasons, the league was then divided: the first six teams from the regular season determined the title holder in a championship round, while the teams in ranks seven to twelve determined the only relegated to the then still second-rate category e dytë . The points from regular playing time were transferred to the championship or relegation round. The champion did not move into the European Cup because Albania had withdrawn from this competition for several years.
A total of 364 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 1.9 goals per game. Agim Murati of FK Partizani Tirana was the top scorer with twelve goals .
Defending champion Dinamo Tirana led the table after the end of the regular season, but Skënderbeu Korça came up with the biggest surprise : after the traditional club was relegated from theategoria e Parë for the first time in 1974/75 , he returned immediately and made it to second place in the regular Round - tied with Master Dinamo. Vllaznia Shkodra and Partizani Tirana were also on the following ranks with chances for the title in the championship round . Lokomotiva Durrës , who was still involved in the relegation battle in the previous year, also got a surprise by entering the round of the top six. Together with 17 Nëntori Tirana , the unfortunate seventh Traktori Lushnja , who was eliminated due to the poor goal difference, was referred to the round of the last six. This was followed Labinoti Elbasan and Luftëtari Gjirokastra . For Flamurtari Vlora and Besa Kavaja , too, things looked good with three points ahead of the relegation place, which Shkëndija Tirana occupied, in terms of the fight to remain in the class, although Kavaja could no longer play in the front after several seasons in the top group this time and the Clearly missed championship round.
In the ten games of the championship round, defending champion Dinamo Tirana was able to pull away and won the third championship title in a row by four points, the eleventh in the club's history. So you could catch up with the previous sole record champion Partizani Tirana . Skënderbeu Korça remained strong in the championship round and secured the completely surprising runner-up in the first year after promotion. Only third place remained for Vllaznia Shkodra . Partizani Tirana only won two of the ten games in the final round and was finally tied on points with 17 Nëntori Tirana fourth. Lokomotiva Durrës , who had also surprisingly made it into the championship round, remained in sixth final rank.
In the relegation round, Luftëtari Gjirokastra and Flamurtari Vlora managed to stay in the league with a few wins, as did Labinoti Elbasan and Traktori Lushnja, who just failed the championship round . Also Shkëndija Tirana played successfully and suffered only one defeat in their last ten games. This saved the capital club, which had entered the final round as bottom of the table. Surprisingly, Besa Kavaja had to go into the second division after the club had landed in the top group of the league in the pre-season.
