1 On 6 November Estonian Football Association License Commission decided to take TVMK's license to play in Meistriliiga or Esiliiga, due to financial difficulties during the season. The Estonian Football Association helped them to play until the end of the season and as they finished in 3rd place, the players and coaches got bronze medals, but the club itself was demoted to 10th spot.[1][2][3]

Relegation play-off

Ajax Lasnamäe and II Liiga Ida/Põhi side TJK Legion will compete in a two-legged relegation play-off for one spot in 2009 Esiliiga.
