Location of teams in the 2009–10 Slovenian PrvaLiga

Primorje were relegated to the Slovenian Second League after the last-place finish in 2008–09, thus ending their sixteen-year spell in Slovenia's highest division. Drava Ptuj successfully avoided relegation for the second year in a row by beating Second League runners-up Aluminij in the relegation play-offs.

Promoted to the Slovenia's top football league were the Second League champions Olimpija, who were promoted from the lowest tier of Slovenian football to the top league in only four seasons.
