12 clubs participate in the Tajikistan First League. The winner of the Tajikistan First League receives a ticket to the Tajikistan Higher League (The winner of the First League is allowed to participate in the Higher League after obtaining a license and fulfilling certain obligations. Otherwise the club remains in the First League), and the club who took second place will play play off matches with the club who took seventh place in the Tajikistan Higher League. The winner of the playoffs is eligible to participate in the Higher League, and the losing club will start the next season in the First League. Clubs who have taken the last place in the First League are not always relegated from the First League.
