The 2009–10 Maltese First Division season started in October 2009 and ended in May 2010. Vittoriosa Stars (2008–09 Maltese First Division Runners up) and Marsaxlokk (2008–09 Maltese Premier League 4th place) were both found guilty of corruption and demoted into the First Division. Balzan Youths and Melita were promoted from 2008–09 Maltese Second Division.
These teams will contest the 2009–10 season:
However, Vittoriosa Stars and Marsaxlokk (who finished 4th place on the Premier Division) were both found guilty of corruption and demoted from the Premier Division into the First Division. Msida Saint-Joseph and Hamrun Spartans were therefore reinstated in the Maltese Premier League.
