(C) Champions; (P) Promoted
Notes:

1. Tiras Tiraspol changed name to Sheriff before the season.
2. Energetic were allowed entrance as champions of Transnistru (as were Cimentul for 1996/97).
3. Unisport-2 Chisinau merged with TTA (Termotransauto) Straseni, a team also losing in last seasons promotion playoffs.
4. Avintul were given a place despite losing in the promotion playoff last season, apparently because Cristalul Ghindesti disappeared.
