The champions and runners-up would receive promotion. Unlike in previous seasons the third-placed team no longer had the opportunity to compete in playoffs for promotion, while the 13th and 14th placed teams no longer had to compete in play-outs to remain in the I liga. The bottom four teams were automatically demoted to the II liga.
The season began on 1 August 2009, and concluded on 9 June 2010. After the 19th matchday the league will be on winter break between 22 November 2009 and 5 March 2010.
