This season was supposed to start with sixteen participating teams, but Shevardeni 1906 were disqualified first, followed by Tbilisi City later on.

After the summer break fourteen teams continued to take part in the tournament with two of them previously being members of the first tier: Sulori Vani (1991, 1991–92)^[2] and Dinamo Zugdidi under different names between 1990 and 2017.^[3] Five more spots were occupied by reserve teams of higher league clubs.
