The league consisted of 14 teams. 1978/79 were Besëlidhja Lezhë and KS Traktori Lushnja relegated from the Kategoria e Pare, for the new season came Apolonia Fier , which returned to the first league after many years of abstinence, and KS Skënderbeu Korçë that after a year's time in the second division returned to the highest league, added. 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 two bottom of the table were relegated to the then still second-rate category e dytë . The champion moved into the European Cup .
A total of 427 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 2.3 goals per game. The top scorer with 18 goals was Përparim Kovaçi from FK Tomori Berat .
With the twelfth championship title in the club's history, Dinamo Tirana drew level with the previous sole record champions FK Partizani Tirana after the end of the season . Five points was the gap to 17 Nëntori Tirana , who, like in the previous season, became runner-up. For defending champion Partizani it was only enough to finish fourth in the final ranking behind Vllaznia Shkodra . Vllaznia, two years earlier still champion, was in danger of relegation the previous season and has now returned to the top group. It was followed by Flamurtari Vlora , the strong resurrected Skënderbeu Korça , Luftëtari Gjirokastra , who this time did not suffer from relegation problems, Lokomotiva Durrës and Labinoti Elbasan . Ninth place went to Besa Kavaja , who had finished third last year as a newcomer and now slipped back into the table area that was actually expected. Relegation worries existed as well as for Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin and Tomori Berat , as Shkëndija Tiranë had to relegate four points behind after nine seasons in the top national league. The second promoted Apolonia Fier had no chance in the category e Parë and could not even win a game as the last one.
