Review
Being considered primary favourites for promotion, Merani won the league with a large margin after an impressive performance during the entire season. They achieved their promotion goal well beforehand, with five matches still remaining. Samgurali managed to thrash their play-off rivals with an aggregate score 9-0 and return to Liga 2 after one-year absence. Aragvi also prevailed over their opponents, despite a home defeat in the first leg.

Five teams were involved in a bitter survival battle close to the end. Gori, a most expected candidate for relegation, secured two victories in the last two games to climb out of the drop zone. Three clubs reached the finish line with equal points, but head-to-head results proved unfavourable for Borjomi, who were relegated along with Betlemi.

Promotion play-offs
Aragvi Dusheti won 2–1 on aggregate.

Samgurali Tskhaltubo won 9–0 on aggregate.
