The 1964–65 Yugoslav First League had an odd number of teams because FK Vardar was allowed to compete in the top league despite getting relegated the previous season. The state and FA authorities made this decision due to the major earthquake (6.1 Richter Scale) that hit Skopje on 26 July 1963. The thinking was that having a team in top-flight would boost the citizens' morale.

Teams
At the end of the previous season only FK Novi Sad was relegated - in spite of finishing last, FK Vardar was allowed to stay in top flight due to the 1963 Skopje earthquake. Since NK Zagreb and Sutjeska Nikšić were promoted from Yugoslav Second League, the league was contested by 15 teams.
