In contrast to previous years, the championship was played in championship and relegation round, also because the league was to be reduced to twelve participants in the following season. After the regular playing time, in which each team competed twice against the other teams, the teams in the last two places were relegated to the then still second-rate category e dytë . Now the first six teams in the table in the championship round made the title among themselves. The teams from places seven to twelve played another relegated team in twelfth place. The eleventh placed had to play two relegation games against the runner-up in the second division. In both rounds the participating teams competed against each other twice, the points from the regular season were updated. The champion moved into the European Cup .
A total of 546 goals were scored, which corresponds to an average of 2.2 goals per game. The top scorer was Agustin Kola of 17 Nëntori Tirana with 18 goals.
Already after the end of the regular season, 17 Nëntori Tirana , who had not been able to intervene in the fight for the title last year, outstripped the competition by four points. Behind them there was a close battle for the five remaining places for the championship round. Flamurtari Vlora and the surprisingly strong Labinoti Elbasan secured participation by one point. Also Apolonia Fier and Besa Kavaja had nothing to do as Labinoti this season with the descent and qualified as a surprise to the round of the last six. Like Vllaznia Shkodra , they benefited from the better goal difference against Besëlidhja Lezha . Lokomotiva Durrës also narrowly missed the championship round, just one point behind. In addition to the entry of three clubs that were actually considered relegation candidates into the championship round, the top clubs Partizani Tirana and Dinamo Tirana also crashed into the relegation round unexpectedly. Skënderbeu Korça and Luftëtari Gjirokastra followed them and narrowly avoided a direct relegation. Unfortunately was Tomori Berat , which missed a point behind Luftëtari the safe shore and, like the severed tail light 31 Korriku Burrel had to leave after the regular season the top flight.
17 Nëntori Tirana did not have to contest the title in the 10 games of the championship round and even increased the lead to seven points. This brought the thirteenth championship in the club's history. Also Flamurtari Vlora was the capital club's success no longer be contested and became the third consecutive runner-up. Labinoti Elbasan was able to confirm the surprising third place from the regular season and was only two points behind Flamurtari in the end. It was followed by Apolonia Fier . Vllaznia Shkodra could not improve the sixth place from the preliminary round and came in behind Besa Kavaja .
In the relegation round, Lokomotiva Durrës and Besëlidhja Lezha were able to keep their previously played out lead on the relegation rank and secured the league's whereabouts safely. The disappointing defending champion Partizani Tirana, on the other hand, could not be satisfied with the course of the season, because in the games of the round of the last six they were only three points behind the relegation place. This was also completely surprisingly taken by the 1986 master Dinamo Tirana . They were still behind Skënderbeu Korça , but at least they were able to avoid direct relegation. This had to accept Luftëtari Gjirokastra , who missed the additional games to stay up by only one point.
After the end of the regular season, the penultimate of the first division, Dinamo Tirana , went against the runner-up in the second division, Naftëtari Qyteti Stalin . With two 1-0 successes, Dinamo could at least avoid relegation after a weak season, while Naftëtari missed promotion.
