The 2017 Esiliiga and 2018 Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond got promoted to the highest tier for the first time.
Nõmme Kalju FC U21 was the first team to suffer relegation after just returning to Esiliiga. Keila JK also immediately returned to Esiliiga B after losing the relegation play-offs to Kohtla-Järve JK Järve. JK Tallinna Kalev U21 narrowly avoided getting relegated in their debut season thanks to Tartu FC Santos' decision to start the new season in the fourth tier.
