Belarus Minsk changed their name to Dinamo-93 Minsk prior to the season.

Overview

Dinamo Minsk won the championship for the 3rd time in a row as well as Belarusian Cup for the 2nd time and qualified for the next season's UEFA Cup, as the Champions League was limited to 24 highest-ranked European national leagues which didn't include Belarus. The Cup runners-up Fandok Bobruisk qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup. Stroitel Starye Dorogi finished in the last place and were relegated. It was their last season in Premier League to date.
