All statistics correct as of 19 May 2019.

The league was contested by 16 teams and the bottom three teams were relegated to the 2020 Provincial stages.

In the 13th round match between Saurimo FC and ASA, the home team goal-keeper Anselmo, felt confident enough to leave his goal unguarded and shoot a free kick that had been awarded for his team, 25 minutes into the game. His confidence paid off as he scored the only goal in the home team's 1-0 win, something unheard of in Angolan football.
