The 30 teams of the Vysschaya League were divided into two conferences before the season according to regional criteria. The western conference contained 16 participants two more teams than the eastern conference with 14 teams. First of all, each team played four times against each team within their own conference, so that the number of games per team was 60 in the western conference and 52 in the eastern conference.

The eight best teams from each conference then qualified for the playoffs, the two finalists of which were promoted directly to the super league. Since Ust-Kamenogorsk as a Kazakh club was not allowed to participate in the playoffs, Sauralje Kurgan moved up. Each team received three points for a win after regular time, two points for a win after extra time, one point for a tie and loss after extra time and zero points for a loss after regular time.
