2024–25 clubs

The league consisted of ten teams; the top eight teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the Montenegrin Second League. Dečić entered the season as defending champions.[3][4]

Bokelj were promoted as champions of the 2023–24 Montenegrin Second League (returning to the top-flight after a seven-year absence), replacing the 2023–24 Montenegrin First League bottom-placed team, Rudar (relegated after eighteen years in the top-flight). Second League runners-up Otrant-Olympic defeated First League ninth-placed team Mladost DG in the Montenegrin First League play-off, promoting the former to the top-flight for the first time in its history and relegating the latter after one year in the top-flight.[4][5]
