Meistriliiga

Ten teams will compete in the league, nine sides from the 2018 season and 2018 Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond. Vaprus were relegated at the end of the 2018 season after finishing in the bottom of the table. Maardu Linnameeskond will be making their Meistriliiga debut having previously declined promotion after winning the 2017 Esiliiga.^[1] Kuressaare retained their Meistriliiga spot after winning a relegation playoff against Esiliiga runners-up Elva.^[2]

On the 27th of October it was mathematically confirmed that FC Flora regained the title after one season. In the second to last round it was confirmed that newcomer Maardu Linnameeskond will be relegated after its debut season and that Paide Linnameeskond, who spent most of the season in the top three, will finish fourth. During the final round, JK Tallinna Kalev managed to escape the relegation play-offs spot and therefore FC Kuressaare had to take that place. They competed against Esiliiga's second independent team Pärnu JK Vaprus and defeated them in a home-and-away play-off. The season's top goalscorer was Erik Sorga, while the best player and assister was Konstantin Vassiljev. Flora's manager Jürgen Henn was awarded the Albert Vollrat's trophy (best manager of the year).
