The season was previously scheduled to begin in 20 September[1] but it was postponed to 12 October[2] due to 2019 OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament[3] that was held in Fiji between 21 September and 5 October. Tafea are the defending champions.[4][5] All clubs play home games at the 6,500-capacity Port Vila Municipal Stadium, except for Yatel FC. They play at the 5,000-capacity Korman Stadium.
