The league consisted of 14 teams. 1982/83 was Besëlidhja Lezhë relegated from the Kategoria e Pare, for the new season came 31 Korriku Burrel , which had managed the direct resurgence, added. The defending champion was KS Vllaznia Shkodra .
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 was allowed to play two relegation games against the runner-up in the categoria e dytë for relegation. In contrast to the previous year, the champions moved into the European Champions Cup this year .
A total of 328 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 1.8 goals per game. The top scorer with 12 goals was for the second time after 1982 Vasil Ruci of KS Flamurtari Vlora .
Surprisingly, Labinoti Elbasan was able to secure the first championship title in the club's history after the club had fought to stay relegated in previous years. The runner-up 17 Nëntori Tirana was already three points behind. This was followed by Partizani Tirana and Flamurtari Vlora , which was as in the previous season fourth. Lokomotiva Durrës , Besa Kavaja and Skënderbeu Korça managed to stay in the league with a five-point lead, while defending champions Vllaznia Shkodra tied with Tomori Berat and Luftëtari Gjirokastra , who was back in the battle for relegation after fifth in the previous season, only two points on the relegation place and was not represented in the top group. Dinamo Tirana landed behind . Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin avoided the relegation only because of the better goal difference compared to Traktori Lushnja . 31 Korriku Burrel, on the other hand, was the last to return to the second division, two points behind, and was unable to establish himself in the top division like two years earlier.
After the end of the regular season, the penultimate of the first division, KS Traktori Lushnja , went against the second division runner-up, Apolonia Fier . In the first leg Lushnja won 2-0 at home and was able to afford a 0-1 away defeat a week later to secure relegation.
