Participating teams

Originally, there would be no promotion and relegation within the league, even though there was a Second level, but at the end of the 1925 season, Hellênico left the league. To fill the remaining berth in the first level, the winners and runners-up of 1925's Second level, Andarahy and Villa Isabel, respectively, applied, with Villa Isabel being chosen.[3]
