Teams

[edit]

Twelve teams are competing in the league – the bottom eight teams from the previous season, the bottom two teams from the promotion play-offs and the two teams directly relegated from the Premier League. The directly relegated teams were Al-Hala and Busaiteen and the team relegated from the relegation play-offs was Al-Hidd, who all returned to the second tier after respective absences of four, one and fifteen years. They replaced Bahrain SC, A'Ali and Malkiya, who were promoted to the Premier League after respective spells of one, two and three years in the second tier.
