It was also the inaugural competition for the Soviet league format (round-robin) transitioning from the cities football competition format that was grandfathered from the Imperial Russian sports events.
FC Dynamo Moscow won the championship in spring and FC Spartak Moscow won it in fall. Between both championships in the summer there was held the first Soviet Cup competition.
In the fall the defending champions Dynamo were going neck-to-neck with their main rivals Spartak, but just a round away from the finish line they tied with weaker Dynamo Leningrad which costed them the title.
Krasnaya Zaria Leningrad avoided relegation from Group A in the spring, while CDKA Moscow avoided relegation in the fall.
