The league expanded from 14 to 16 teams, and the federation also announced a four-team playoff to end the regular season. However, the federation ended up cancelling the play-off after the season, giving ASEC Mimosas their 29th overall title.[1] Since teams would have taken half of their points into the six-game rectangular play-off, Mimosas would have started with around a four-point lead.[2]

ES Bafing were relegated on the final day of the season despite starting the round outside the relegation zone and drawing AFAD 0–0, who also needed a win to guarantee their spot in the cancelled play-off, but were leaped by ASI d'Abengourou who won their final match of the season.[2]

AFAD Djékanou qualified for the Confederation Cup as the cup runners-up.
