Changes

Ten teams will compete in the league – the top eight teams from the previous season, as well as two teams promoted from the Albanian First Divisio. Korabi defeated Ada 1–0 at the Reshit Rusi Stadium on the final matchday of the regular season in Group A of the Albanian First Division to secure promotion to the Albanian Superliga after a 54 year absence.[1][2] Luftëtari were then promoted back to Albanian Superliga after a three-year absence as they defeated Apolonia Fier on the final matchday of the regular season in Group B of the Albanian First Division.[3][4] The two promoted clubs replace Bylis and Tërbuni.
