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 , while the penultimate, in contrast to previous years, was allowed to play two relegation games against the runner-up in the categoria e dytë to avoid relegation. The champion did not move into the European Cup this year .
A total of 366 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 2.0 goals per game. Scorer with 16 goals for the second time after 1981 Dashnor Bajaziti of KS Besa Kavaja .
After being unable to intervene in the battle for the championship for several years, Vllaznia Shkodra was somewhat surprisingly new Albanian champion. It was the sixth title in the club's history. In an extremely close decision, Vllaznia was able to prevail with a tie only because of the better goal difference against Partizani Tirana . Defending champion 17 Nëntori Tirana was only two points behind in third place in the table. After the surprising runner-up title in the previous season, Flamurtari Vlora was able to maintain its position in the top group and finished fourth. It was followed by Luftëtari Gjirokastra and Lokomotiva Durrës , who had nothing to do with relegation this season. Also promoted Skënderbeu Korça secured relegation sovereign. Dinamo Tirana , however, had a disappointing season . The top club only reached eighth place and was nine points behind the new champions. In the following places Labinoti Elbasan and Tomori Berat came in . In the close battle for relegation, in which Besa Kavaja and newcomer Traktori Lushnja saved each other with a point lead, Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin took the relegation place, while Besëlidhja Lezha , who was still in the middle of the league last year, had to start the second division.
After the end of the regular season, the penultimate of the first division, Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin , went against the second division runner-up, Minatori Tepelena . In the first leg, Naftëtari won 4-1 away and was able to afford a 2-1 defeat at home in order to secure relegation.
