9.FK Rezekne 24 1 5 18 10-69 8 Relegated [Rezekne]

NB: after the season, Universitate and Lokomotive withdrew from the Virsliga 1998, and FK Rezekne retained its first division status.

Notes:

  1. Competitions in Virsliga will proceed in one stage with teams playing 3 times each against other (24 rounds in total). The bottom club will be relegated to the Pirma liga (second level).
  2. Originally, Jurnieks (Riga) were to play in the Virsliga instead of Starts (Broceni) due to the special inter-club agreement signed between these two clubs. However, like Starts, Jurnieks could not fulfill all requirements that the LFF imposes on Virsliga clubs, and therefore both will play in the Pirma liga in 1997.
  3. FK Ventspils plays instead of Vecriga (Riga) due to Vecriga's refusal. FK Ventspils is a merger of Venta and Nafta, which played in Pirma liga last year.
  4. FK Rezekne is a merger club of Vairogs and Kolons, which played in Virsliga and Pirma liga, respectively, last year.
  5. Baltika/Metalurgs is a new name for Baltika.
  6. Baltika/Metalurgs from Liepaja is called Metalurgs starting July 1.
