Promotions and relegations

There are 8 teams in the league, including 7 teams from the 2024 season and 1 team promoted from the 2024 League 2.

Teams relegated to League 2

Taipei Vikings was the only team relegated after finishing last place in the previous season, ending their one year stay in the top tier. However, Taipei Vikings didn't participate in the 2025 Taiwan President FA Cup, led them to forfeit their playing spot in League 2 for the 2025–26 season.^[4]

Teams promoted from League 2

Taichung Rock, the champions of League 2 in 2024 earned automatic promotion and was the only team promoted after Inter Taoyuan had lost 1–2 to Ming Chuan University in the promotion/relegation playoffs.^[5]
