2008 Faroe Islands Premier League

AB Argir and VB Vágur were relegated to 1. deild after finishing 9th and 10th in the 2007 season. They were replaced by 1. deild champions B68 Toftir and runners-up ÍF Fuglafjørður.

Further, GÍ Gøta merged with 1. deild club Leirvík ÍF and therefore formed the club named Víkingur Gøta.[http://www.soccerandequipment.com/january-2008-roundup.html Merged GÍ/LÍF announce new name on 4 February]
