The Maltese First Division 2008-09 season (known as BOV First Division 2008-09 for sponsorship reasons) started in October 2008 and ended in May 2009. Pieta Hotspurs and Mqabba were relegated from the Premier League. The promoted teams were San Gwann and Rabat Ajax. Dingli Swallows and Vittoriosa Stars finished the league as joint first with the same number of points. Both were promoted but a decider had to be played to decide who the champions would be. The decider was won by Dingli by the score of 2-1. At the other end Rabat Ajax and Senglea Athletics were relegated to the Second Division.
