Changes from previous season

• Dingli Swallows and Vittoriosa Stars were promoted to the Premier League and were initially replaced with Ħamrun Spartans and Msida Saint-Joseph, both relegated from 2008–09 Maltese Premier League.

However, Vittoriosa Stars and Marsaxlokk (who finished 4th place on the Premier Division) were both found guilty of corruption and demoted from the Premier Division into the First Division. Msida Saint-Joseph and Hamrun Spartans were therefore reinstated in the Maltese Premier League.

• Rabat Ajax and Senglea Athletic were relegated to the 2009–10 Maltese Second Division. They were replaced with Balzan and Melita.
